At last, with great striving, methought I at first did get in my head, and after that, by a sideling striving, my shoulders and my whole body.
Hemmed in on every side by the scowling aliens, Gregory took a step forward and stood waiting. Mascola advanced warily with peculiar sideling steps. His face was a mottled gray save in one place where his chin was flecked with blood. His left arm was extended guard-wise. His right was crooked loosely to his side, fingers covered. He crouched low and gathered.
Still through thy golden day and silver night Sings his soft jargon the gay gondolier, And o'er thy floors of liquid malachite Slide the black-hooded barks to mystery dear. Like Spanish beauty in its sable veil, They rustle sideling through the watery way, The wild, monotonous cry with which they hail Each other's passing dying far away.
"Unfortunate!" echoed the little man, sideling nigher to his companion, and producing his tablets with an air in which exultation struggled, strangely, with an affectation of self-abasement. "No, no, Ellen, I am any thing but unfortunate.

Cabs are cheap; twenty-five cents will take you anywhere a la course.

"Do you keep backy and snuff here?" says she, sideling close up to me. "We make no use of those articles." "How! Not use backy and snuff? That's oncommon."
The strength of the pursued was now nearly exhausted, while that of his formidable enemy seemed to suffer no diminution. Leap after leap he took with fearful superiority, sideling as he advanced.
