2. The principal rose slowly to his feet.
3. The small boy stamped his feet and blew on his red, chapped hands.
4. Scuffing his shoes on the floor, he moved the weight of his body from one foot to the other.
5. In the lobby I walked out of the elevator, and a man leaning against the wall pushed himself off it and walked toward me.
6. The gallery, as far as Dixon could see, was also packed; some people were standing up by the rear wall.
7. They stood on tiptoes and craned over people’s shoulders.
8. He started to his feet.

Hi Anglika,

Thank you for your thorough control of my work as well as for your accurate amendments.

Owing to your operative help I made the proper editing my previous post.

draw one's up = assume an erect position to express dignity or indignation.
