Aleck's voice and manner were friendly enough to disarm suspicion itself; Sallie Kingsbury looked at him for a full second. "Come in." Aleck followed her into the wide, dim hall, and waited while she pulled down the shade of the sidelight which she had lifted for observation.
Garrick shook his head mournfully. "They had just time enough," he remarked, "to destroy about everything they wanted to and carry off the rest." "All except the markers," I corrected. "That was just a lucky chance," he returned. "Still, it throws an interesting sidelight on the case." "It doesn't add much in my estimation to the character of Forbes," I ventured, voicing my own suspicions.
I can vouch for the truth of another "sidelight," though from only one experience. One night last week, clear and frosty, I had just gone to my room at about eleven o'clock when the doctor called me to come out and "hear the lights."
His account of the two last days, with the unintentional sidelight it threw on just those parts he wished to keep in darkness, made her aware how complicated and involved his life had become. But before he finished speaking, she brought all her practical intelligence to bear on what he said. "Maurice!" she exclaimed, with a consternation that was three parts genuine.

Existing biographies of Lee are disappointing. An interesting sidelight on the war may be found in "Life with the Confederate Army," by Watson, being the experiences of a Scotchman who for a time served under the Confederacy.
And as Rhoda fell the girl with the dipper flung its contents over the flying figure of the new girl. The blindfolded Rhoda came down so awkwardly that Nan feared she would be hurt. The girl from Tillbury screamed a warning which was useless. But in that exciting moment Nan noted something that afterward gave her a sidelight upon Rhoda Hammond's character.
The Local Government Bill was abandoned, and in this connection a sidelight is shed on the sincerity of the promises which had been made, in a letter from Lord Randolph Churchill to Lord Justice FitzGibbon on this question, dated January 13th, 1892, at the time when the Government of 1886 was drawing to a close, and Mr.
