Why, you know the beaux of our set look askant on me for not keeping up my dignity, robbing only in company with well-dressed gentlemen, and swindling under the name of a lord's nephew.

And, although Lady Bassett drew slightly back at this freedom, Mary Wells poured into her ear a proposal that made her stare and shiver. As for the girl's own face, it was as unmoved as if it had been bronze. Lady Bassett drew back, and eyed her askant with amazement and terror.
I would not lay stress on the description of the Dragon in the Shield of Hercules, 'with eyes oblique retorted, that askant shot gleaming fire; for all readers may not be prepared to accept my opinion that that description related to the constellation Draco.
"Then he won't be here till half-past. Time and to spare! Now you listen to me, and I'll learn you a thing or two you don't know. You are my lawful wife, so just you listen to me! Ah, would you?..."
