But by now you ought to be rested." "Therefore I ought to be stirring myself so as to get tired again?" "If you don't stir, you'll rust." "Rust is a painless death for useless mechanism." She shot an impatient side-glance at him. "Either you're a hundred years old," she said, "or that's sheer pose." "Perhaps it is a sort of pose. If so, it's a self-protective one."
You are Kauanyi, a member of the order of warriors," he added with a side-glance at his brother, "do you know anything of the sneaking wolves in the mountains?" Hayoue denied any knowledge concerning the Navajos, adding, "I did not like it when that fellow Nacaytzusle ran away from us. He knew too much of our ways." "He can do no harm. He is glad to stay among his people."
Having at last decided for the door, he turned to me and asked if there was anybody I suspected. When I answered 'no, I saw him throw a side-glance at Rashîd, as if he thought him fortunate in having so obtuse a master.

It must not be forgotten that Amedee was very young, and was in love with love.
Paul looked at him fixedly; he expected to be attacked by him, but the servant only gave him a shy side-glance and a wide berth. "That fellow looks as if he were brooding over some evil," he thought, looking after him.
"Come and eat your breakfast, child," was all she said at the moment. "The tea's quite cold." Laura sat down and fell to with appetite, but also with a side-glance at the generous pile of bread and meat growing under Mother's hands. "I shall never eat all that," she said ungraciously; it galled her still to be considered a greedy child with an insatiable stomach.

"I am simply John Wayland," I answered, and, with a glance at my face, Lieutenant Helm cordially extended his hand.
