The first amazing sight on which their eyes rested was their own large canoe drifting down stream. They stood a moment, not knowing what to make of it, but speedily reached the right conclusion: Ziffak had set it free for their special benefit. It was floating sideways near the middle of the Xingu, and showed there was no one on board.
"Welcome, Don Rodriguez," said the Professor before he turned round; and then he rose, and with small steps backwards and sideways and many bows, he displayed all those formulae of politeness that Saragossa knew in the golden age and which her professors loved to execute. In later years they became more elaborate still, and afterwards were lost.
He got off my table and, looking up at the ceiling, cocked his beard a little awry; at the same time making it stick out before him. 'Adoration, or a vow of vengeance, he observed. He turned his profile to me, making his upper lip very bulky with the upper part of his beard. 'Romantic character, said he. He looked sideways out of his beard, as if it were an ivy-bush. 'Jealousy, said he.
The straight warp of necessity, not to be swerved from its ultimate course its every alternating vibration, indeed, only tending to that; free will still free to ply her shuttle between given threads; and chance, though restrained in its play within the right lines of necessity, and sideways in its motions directed by free will, though thus prescribed to by both, chance by turns rules either, and has the last featuring blow at events.

His horse only moved a short step every now and then, eating his way slowly across the grass, and his rider sat sideways, resting his elbows on his knees and staring at nothing particular, with that perfectly wooden expression of his which indicated profound thought.

I never supposed that you you cared for me in that way." "Can you tell me how I could help caring?" said the Old Fellow in the strangest way. His voice actually trembled.
I have letters for the Spanish Court, and you shall take them with my verbal explanations, which I will give you presently, for they would hang us, and may not be trusted to writing. She is bound for Seville, but you will follow the Emperor wherever he may be. You will go, won't you?" and he glanced at him sideways.

The priest looked at him sideways, something bitterly a dry and blighting smile. 'Is there no priest, then, in the village? I thought I had seen a great one even now, cried Kim.
For a moment Soapy's baleful eye turned aside to the desk as he reached for the letters, and in that moment M'Ginnis's pistol spoke, and Soapy, lurching sideways, sagged to his knees, his back against the desk.
