"It's Queen City or moulderin' in the drifts till next summer!" cried Jim, and he turned his horse into a side-path. The others followed without a word, willing to accept his guidance through the greatest peril they had yet faced in an arduous campaign.
I hope he isn't coming this way.... I'm afraid he is, though. You know who I mean? He was at the Towers...." "I know. Yes, it's him. He's coming this way. If he sees it's us, he'll go off down the side-path. But he won't see he's too short-sighted. Can't be helped!" "Oh dear what a plague people are! Let's be absorbed in the Kinkajou. He'll pass us." But the great surgeon did nothing of the sort.
She returned dispirited to her couch, and thought of her child till the broad glare of day again invited her to the window. She looked not for the unknown, still how great was her vexation at perceiving the back of a man, certainly he, with his two attendants, as he turned into a side-path which led to the house!
He was just about to turn down this fascinating side-path, and was in the very act of complaining about his loneliness and bemoaning it aloud, when he happened to notice that the sky looked a little overcast; the air had grown heavy and still, and a strange, sad hush brooded over everything; while the bare branches upon the trees appeared to droop, and the one or two birds that had perched upon them uttered low, plaintive little sounds that were disheartening to hear.
He shoved the maps into the inside pocket of his jacket, and chased back to his machine and set out. He took a side-path as directed, and then a wood-road and then he got lost. That was all there was to it he was hopelessly lost! The path didn't behave at all as the one he was looking for.
The streets below suffered from all these projections and advanced stories above; they were dark, and ill-paved with large, round, jolting pebbles, and with no side-path protected by kerb-stones; there were no lamp-posts for long winter nights; and no regard was paid to the wants of the middle class, who neither drove about in coaches of their own, nor were carried by their own men in their own sedans into the very halls of their friends.
And there was no one about, either, in that part of Folliot's big garden. "I want a bit of talk with you," said Bryce as Folliot closed the door and turned down a side-path to a still more retired region. "Private talk. Let's go where it's quiet."
The morning had sunshine thinly scattered through it; but, nevertheless, there was a continual sprinkle, sometimes scarcely perceptible, and then again amounting to a decided drizzle. The road, which is built along on a little elevation above the lake shore, led us past the Castle of Chillon; and we took a side-path, which passes still nearer the castle gate.
Find somebody else to do your household drudgery this young lady's done her last stroke for you. And now don't begin to bluster," he added, as Simon, purpling with wrath, shook his fist. "We'll just leave you to yourself." He led Queenie away down a side-path, and once within its shelter, put a finger under her chin, and lifting her face, looked steadily at her. "Look here, girlie," he said.
"I'm off." "But he'll see you!" cried the girl. "He is but a half-mile off." "Mr. Aycon could take the side-path," said the duchess. "The duke would see him before he reached it," said the girl. "He would be in sight for nearly fifty yards." "Couldn't I hide in the bushes?" I asked.
