Then, while busily employed in setting, whooping all the while, and snapping his fingers over his head, he of a sudden prolonged his side-step until it brought him to the place where Edward was standing, and, still keeping time to the music like Harlequin in a pantomime, he thrust a letter into our hero's hand, and continued his saltation without pause or intermission.
She delighted in Marty's clean blows, in his quick "duck" and "side-step;" and when her cousin's freckled fist impinged upon the fatuous countenance of Sim Howell, Janice Day uttered an unholy gasp of delight. She saw Nelson striding to separate the combatants. She hoped he would not be harsh with Marty.
Tom's headlong rushes became less easy to side-step, his swinging blows more difficult than the scientific counter that shot out to check them. As he tired Tom seemed to regain strength. The tide of the battle began to ebb. He clinched, and Tom threw him off. He feinted, and while he was feinting Tom was on him. It was the climax of the battle the last rally. Down went Albert, and stayed down.
"All the same," said he, "you've got more nerve than a burglar. How you goin' to side-step?" "I made the match for an 'unknown." Speed winked. "Covington will be here in a day or two. I'll wire him to hurry up. Fortunately I brought a lot of athletic clothes with me, so I'll go into training under your direction. When Covington gets here I'll let him run." The fat man sighed with relief.
The object of Mr Mountchesney was to descend the side-step of the terrace and again the flower-garden, from whence there were means of escape.
"But don't think it will be a picnic," urged Webb. "We'll know we've been in a fight before we get through. With a crowd of gunmen like Mysterious Pete against us we'll have hard travelin'. I'd side-step this if I could, but I can't." A Stampede Clanton took his turn at night herding for the first time the day of Warren's visit to the camp.
The moving retinue came up, breaking now into the slow side-step of the ghost-dance, and around the form of White Otter gathered these people of the other world. They danced "the Crazy Dance" and sang, but the dull orbs of the faster gave no signs of interest. "He-eye, he-eye! we have come for you come to take you to the shadow-land.
Orville Platt took a hasty side-step in the direction of the door toward which Terry was headed. "It's a pretty thing," he said, fervently. "An awful pretty thing. Thanks. It's beautiful." Terry flung a last insult at him over her shoulder: "Don't thank me for it. I didn't write it." Orville Platt did not go across the street to the hotel.
With varying phraseology their writers either think we have hitherto misjudged England and that my facts are to the point, or they express the stereotyped American antipathy to England and treat my facts as we mortals mostly do when facts are embarrassing side-step them. What best pleased me was to find that soldiers and sailors agreed with me, and not "high-brows" only.
When he cleared his eyes and looked around he was quite alone, his horse walking under the trees and breathing heavily. At first he laughed, and the laugh was not pleasant. Then he said aloud: "It is worth having lived for, after all!" and was silent. And again: "I could expect nothing; she was perfectly right to side-step a fool. . . . And such a fool!"
