"Well, Bertie," he proceeded, as blithely as a linnet without a thing on his mind, "you will be glad to hear that you were right. Your theory has been tested and proved correct. I feel like a fighting cock." My brain ceased to reel. I saw all. "Have you been having a drink?"
"Dearie," I said, trying my level best to get a mist over my lamps so as to give her the teardrop gaze, "something keeps whispering to me, 'Sidestep that cave in the wilderness! Something keeps telling me that a month on the farm will put a crimp in our happiness, and that the moment we move into a home in the tall grass ill luck will get up and put the boots to our wedded bliss."
Two or three youngsters swerved aside with frightened snorts, but as he came up behind a laboring mare she paused in her flight to let drive with both heels. Alcatraz barely escaped the danger with a sidestep light as a dancer's and shortened his gallop. He could not punish the mare for her impudence; besides, he needed time to rearrange his thoughts.
"I just somehow kain't git over the notion she ought to sidestep them little rocks and holes of her own accord," he exclaimed.

Darrin had determined to keep himself out of the way of those sledge-hammer fists until he saw his own clear opening.

Mesa and flat and wash succeeded each other monotonously.
If we are faint-hearted, and eager for peace at any price, then we will sidestep the ugly situation until the destroyers have settled it for us by the wholesale extermination of species. If the zoologist cares to know, then I will tell him that to-day the wild life of the world can be saved by law, but not by sentiment alone!
If it comes to a showdown, lemme advise you, you'd better sidestep Belle. The grief would all be yourn, if you and Belle lock horns, and I'm telling yuh so."

At him Tom looked, suspicion for the moment sharpening his glance.
He would sidestep trouble and one met the weeping damsel at many turns of the road in those raw days if he could do it without loss of self-respect; but the man who stirred him up needlessly, or crowded him into retaliation, always regretted it when he had time to indulge in vain regrets.
"Oh, man, man! Did he do for Larrimer? And I ain't spoiling his story. He won't talk about it. Wouldn't open his face about it all the way home. A pretty neat play, boys. Larrimer was looking for a rep, and he wanted to make it on Black Jack's son. Came tearing in. "At first Terry tried to sidestep him.
