But the phrase came back into my mind because going down to the Dead Sea does really involve rushing down a steep place. Indeed it gives a strange impression that the whole of Palestine is one single steep place. It is as if all other countries lay flat under the sky, but this one country had been tilted sideways.
"Oh! the weak, the weak," she cried, "of how many crimes they are the authors! Crimes more particularly abominable when the weak one is the man, and woman poor brute is strong." She settled herself sideways in the corner of the carriage, turning her face once more full upon her companion. "Look here," she said, "I don't want to whitewash myself. What I've done I've done.
When we hit into the old creek bed, the water was running through it just the same as if it was a regular creek. It was right up to the top of the bushes that grew there and dragging them sideways, as it rushed along. "Well, what do you know about that?" I said. Bert just stood looking at it and then he said, "That's no rain water." "Sure it is," I said; "what else do you suppose it is?"
Then, swinging it sideways so that it would not roll back into the mud, he turned and looked back at Masten. The latter had got to his feet, mud-bespattered, furious. The rider looked from Masten to the girl, his expression one of hypocritical gravity. The girl's face was flushed with indignation over the affront offered her friend.
And the philosophers were taking their cards and hanging up their waiters' coats and putting on shabby jackets and bowler hats, worn sideways, and changing themselves by a wonderful transformation from respectable Chinese to slouching loafers of the lowest type.

The towering masses of the Rockies, where the strata runs all sideways, as if a slice of the very crust of the universe had been tilted up on edge by some gigantic upheaval.
"Do you feel disposed to sell the shares?" asked the old man, looking up sideways, and still smiling. "No; on the whole I think not." "Ho, ho, Osmond, where have you learnt prudence, eh? Why don't you sit down? If you didn't come about the mines, why did you come, eh?"
Jimmy called attention to the horse's shoes, that his father and Bartley might not see how really pleased he was to ride a "real horse." "Yes, a long ride. How is Aunt Jane and Dorry?" "Oh, they're all right. Uncle Frank he cut twenty-two tons of alfalfa off the lower field last week." Cheyenne sat sideways on Jimmy's pony as they rode down the last easy slope and turned into the ranch gate.
