Strange to say, it was Rustum Khan who gave up all further pretense at sleeping and ran round to fling the door open Rustum Khan who took part with Kagig, and helped drive them out into the dark, and Rustum Khan who stood astraddle in the doorway, growling after them in Persian the only language he knew thoroughly that they likely understood: "Bismillah! Ye have heard a man talk!
If you make it we win, Garwood!" Kenneth, his pulses far from calm, walked out on the floor and picked up the ball. The shouting died away and the sudden stillness seemed appalling. He toed the black streak across the boards and measured the distance to the basket. Then, his legs astraddle, his knees slightly bent, he swung the ball once twice There was a moment of suspense, and then
There was a cannon over there which they pulled back with all the hilarity of college students, some riding astraddle the piece, cheering, and waving their caps. We had no sooner recrossed the cut and regained our places in the line than the grand spectacle of dense columns of Pope's army coming to the assault was witnessed.
The truth is that Miss Claudia, with all her cleverness, was very young and dare I say it? rather silly. Caerlaverock was stroking his beard, his legs astraddle on the hearthrug, with something appallingly viceregal in his air, when Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cargill were announced. The Home Secretary was a joy to behold.
Who's ther boss o' this yere crowd?" I swung down from my seat on the mule's back, and stood facing him.

Now once upon a time a right witty sport was devised between them. The vintner bet Moll £20 that she would not ride from Charing Cross to Shoreditch astraddle on horseback, in breeches and doublet, boots and spurs.
The shutters were broken; one of them was hanging crookedly from only its bottom hinge. The top of a ladder rose above the window-sill, and beside it, astraddle the sill, was an Empire card-table, half inside the room, half out.
The wings of Teackle Hall had similar, but lower, chimneys, astraddle of their roofs, and forest trees oak, gum, holly, and pine, with a great willow, and some tawny cedars, and bushes of rose and lilac dotted the grassy lawn.
Judge Billings, shrewd calculator of human values, quite audibly disclosed his belief that at least three of the newcomers would have to be run out of town before they were a day older, possibly astraddle of a rail. One of these marked individuals was a tall, swart, bearded fellow with black, shifty eyes and a scowling brow.
They got astraddle of one another's necks, and were cut from ear to fetlock those that lived, for some of them, I could see, were being trampled to death. How many I never knew, for suddenly we hit a reef there in the storm and the black night. I knew we had drifted to the north shore, and as the sea began to wash over us it was every man for himself.
