"Something of that," Wade assented. "He worships Northwick on the altar of material success." Matt lifted his head and looked about. "I suppose the whole place is simply seething with curiosity." Just after they reached the side-street where Wade left him to go down to his church, he met Sue Northwick driving in her sleigh. She was alone, except for the groom impassive in the rumble.
“Continuing our course, we were attracted into a side-street by a crowd, among whom stood conspicuous a brass musical band, and an old man in a semi-religious costume of black and white, bearing a large wooden crucifix in his hand. In anticipation of some religious ceremony, we waited awhile to watch its development.
"My gracious! who would have thought that old witch, the Guinigi," whispers Carlotta Carlotta owned a little mercery-shop in a side-street running by the palace, right under the tower to her gossip Brigitta, an occasional customer for cotton and buttons, "who would have thought that she gracious! who would have thought she dared to shut up her palace the day of the festival? Did you see?"
On a grassy side-street of Oakland, California, was "Jones & Ericson's Garage: Gasoline and Repairs: Motor Cycles and Bicycles for Rent: Oakland Agents for Bristow Magnetos."

Their white veils against the gloom of the recessed archways were like sunlit clouds caught in an abyss. Priests in gorgeous vestments were walking quickly through the streets. All the peasants were going also toward the cathedral. A group stopped, as did we, to turn into a side-street. For there was a picture we should not see later on.
Paris, Nice, Berlin, Budapest, Rome, Vienna, London writhed and twisted and turned and jiggled. St. Vitus himself never imagined contortions such as these. In the narrow side-street dance rooms of Florence, and in the great avenue restaurants of Paris they were performing exactly the same gyrations wiggle, squirm, shake. And over all the American jazz music boomed and whanged its syncopation.

He greeted the boys gladly.
