It was plain that his mind was swept suddenly by a wave of temerity. With a sounding step he moved towards the door. His fingers were almost upon the knob when he swiftly ducked and dodged away, clapping his hands to the back of his head. It was as if the portal had threatened him. There was a little tumult near the stove, where Mrs.
Hardly was the girl's back turned when Wentworth dodged around the corner and entered McNabb's store by another door just in time to see old John rush from the building, bag in hand, and hurry down the street in the direction of the station.

Red Larry's aim, on the other hand was better. Phil dodged like a flash. Had he not done so the stake would have struck him squarely in the face.
Jack dodged the impact, then darted in at the side, landing a blow on young Melville's chest that sent him staggering back. "Strike me, will you?" flashed Don, throwing himself on guard.

The innovation had by anticipation filled the people with intense indignation. A storm was brewing. This heroine, unable to restrain herself, sprang to her feet and hurled her stool at the dean's head, exclaiming. "Villain, dost thou say mass at my lug?" The dean dodged the stool and escaped. Do the children of these Covenanters appreciate the value and power of the truth?
