It came to Spurlock suddenly that if something did not react in his favour inside of five minutes, he was done. In a side-glance for the floor was variously encumbered with overturned objects he saw one of his paper weights, a coloured glass ball such as McClintock used in trade. As the Wastrel rushed, Spurlock sidestepped, swept the ball into his hand, set himself and threw it.
The only requirement was that I should not open my kodak within sight of this hotbed of military importance. I all but made the fatal error of passing between the sacred eave-post and the wall upon my exit, but sidestepped in time to escape unscathed, and left the great fortress behind and above me.
It opened again in June, but as all could not go at once it happened that some officers did not get leave for nine or ten months. After a few days in Potijze sector the Battalion sidestepped to the Wieltje sector. The tour here was characterised by intense enemy artillery activity.
"Oh, I don't do any striking with my face," retorted Dave dryly. "I do all my killing with my hands." "Stop that one," urged Henley, feinting cleverly with his left, then following it up with a right hand crusher. Dave stopped both blows neatly enough, then sidestepped and passed over a fist that grazed Mr. Henley's face. "I just wanted to find out where your face is," mocked Darrin.
The other end was fastened about his waist; I had him, and giving an instant for a glance at Harry, saw that he had adopted the same tactics as myself. Seeing that escape was impossible, they dashed straight at us. It wasn't much of a fight. One came at me with his head lowered like a charging bull; I sidestepped easily and floored him with a single blow.
I wish yer luck." "Thank you." "I'm mighty glad you sidestepped Brockton," he went on. "You're young, and you're pretty, and you're sweet, and if you've got the right kind of a feller, there ain't no reason on earth why you shouldn't jest forgit the whole business and see nothin' but laughs and a good time comin' to you, and the sun sort o' shinin' every twenty-four hours in the day.
Gantry be " "No, no! Do not say it, my deah Tammas! When one is in Society, y'know, one is privileged to think it, but it's bad form to express it so ah broadly ah I assure you." He adjusted his monocle and stared with a vacuous blandness well calculated to madden his friend. Blake hurled a magazine, which his lordship deftly sidestepped.
"I won't even try to describe the scene that occurred between Margaret Louise and me. She cried and she lied, and she accused me of trying to curry favor with Stevie, and Stevie of being a backbiter, and she argued and argued about all kinds of things but the truth, and when I tried to pin her down to it, she ducked and crawled and sidestepped in a way that was dreadful.
And, as luck would have it, the object of his grievance, having forgotten something, at that moment unexpectedly reentered the office to retrieve it. "Hello, Mr. Tutt!" he exclaimed. "Not gone yet!" His senior partner glanced at him sharply, while Miss Wiggin hastily sidestepped into the corridor. "Look here, Tutt!" said Mr. Tutt.
Glory be! her protector was parrying the Marquis' wild thrusts while he himself bided an opening. It came with a suddenness as dramatic as the duel itself. A lunge of the villain had left his own side exposed. De Vaudrey sidestepped and as he did so plunged his rapier between the ribs of the owner of Bel-Air. The mortally stricken de Praille sank back against a marble bench.
