Kansas Casey laid the body down on its back and thoroughly searched the pockets of the clothing. "One thing," said Kansas Casey, looking up from what he had found a handful of silver dollars, a pocket knife, and a silver watch, "robbery wasn't the motive." Racey looked sidewise from under his eyebrows at Jack Harpe. The latter was staring down unmoved at the dead body.
I'll tell yuh when to take 'em up." The men came riding in from the hayfield, some in wagons, two astride harnessed work-horses, and one long-legged fellow in chaps on a mower, driving a sweaty team that still had life enough to jump sidewise when they spied Bud's pack by the corral. The stage driver sauntered up and spoke to the men.
Judge Stillman gasped and backed against the desk, but McNamara idly swung his leg as he sat sidewise on the table. His only sign of interest was a quickening of the eyes, a fact of which Dextry made mental note.
Before it could be repeated, the grizzly swung himself sidewise, and the second blow caught Muskwa. The flat of the black's foot struck him, and for twenty feet he was sent like a stone out of a sling-shot. He was not cut, but he was stunned. In that same moment Thor released his hold on his enemy's throat, and swung two or three feet to one side. He was dripping blood.
Rod, the off-horse of the pair, had been standing with one hip lifted, like a tired cow; and you could only tell by the quick flutter of the haw across his eye, from time to time, that he was paying any attention to the argument. He thrust his jaw out sidewise, as his habit is when he pulls, and changed his leg.
She caught up her skirts as he had told her to do, executed without compromise the stiff-legged skip and the wriggle, and finished with a horizontal sidewise kick that matched his own. Then, panting, trembling a little, she stood looking straight into his face.
Her eyes were made up with a delicate green that gave them an effect unknown to him. She was dressed as a young farm girl with a sunbonnet a-dangle at the back of her neck, her curls trailing across her rounded shoulders and down upon her dreamy bosom. She sat and swung her little feet and looked up at him sidewise. He forgot all about Ferriday, and when Ferriday came along did not see him.
So narrow was the opening, and so nearly hidden by grass and heath, that Scarlett had no difficulty in supporting himself by spreading out his arms, as soon as he had recovered from the first startling effect of his slip. But he did not stop many minutes in this position. Fred hung on to his arm. He threw himself sidewise, grasped tightly hold of a stout branch of heath, and scrambled out.
"I read about it at Waterloo when the Duke of Wellington wasn't it? You needn't laugh as if it couldn't be done. It was that sunken-road business put it into my head in the first place; and I think you ought to feel flattered." "I do," gasped Ward, wiping his eyes. "Say, I was some bandit, wasn't I, William Louisa?" Billy Louise looked at him sidewise. "No, you weren't any bandit at all then.
"The fact is I am happy," he said in his light, clear tone. "And do you propose to spend your life in making love to Gertrude Wentworth?" "Yes!" said Felix, smiling sidewise at his sister. The Baroness returned his glance, much more gravely; and then, "Do you like her?" she asked. "Don't you?" Felix demanded. The Baroness was silent a moment.
