"To Europe." Susan had paused in removing her left glove. Rod's description of Brent's way of sidestepping Rod's description to the last detail. Her hands fluttered uncertainly fluttering fingers like a flock of birds flushed and confused by the bang of the gun. "And Fitz says " "For Europe," said Susan. She was drawing her fingers slowly one by one from the fingers of her glove. "Yes.
There was a splash in the water, a little cry of well feigned dismay. "Oh, how careless of me! It slipped out of my hand." Phil grinned cheerfully as he began to dip his paddle, interest quickened. It was a neat sidestepping of his inconsiderate attempt to scrutinize her. She had taken the first trick. "You do yourself an injustice, madam. Are you usually so careful when you are careless?"
The next entry read: "This is a great combination Roumania is sidestepping Wilhelmstrasse.... Greece is tying up with Servia, Bulgaria is likely to form a wedge between a complete coalition of these mutually hating and suspicious grafters.... Montenegro is the only honest combination in the whole bunch.... In another hour I will see Kovalsky and astonish him with the news I bring."
Just as a river which cannot flow over a rock can glide about its feet and turn it into a picturesque promontory, so I recognised in myself an inborn human faculty for "sidestepping" that which blocked my way, when I couldn't break it down. I left Versailles with just that much to the good a perception that the ages had bequeathed me a store of abilities which I was allowing to lie latent.
They are bigger than I, and unless I get even with them by punishment, I would cut a sorry figure. But in the attempt to get even, if I resort to ordinary means, they are sure to make it a boomerang. If I tell them, "You're wrong," they will start an eloquent defence, because they are never short of the means of sidestepping.
For my part, I was fighting as I had fought a thousand times before now sidestepping a wicked thrust, now stepping quickly in to let my sword's point drink deep in a foeman's heart, before it buried itself in the throat of his companion. We were having a merry time of it, we two, when a great body of Issus' own guards were ordered into the arena.
Dick and Sir Redmond were working side by side, the sacks they held rising and falling with the regularity of a machine for minutes at a time. A group of strange horsemen galloped up from the way she had come, followed by a wagon of water-barrels, careering recklessly over the uneven ground. The horsemen stopped just inside the burned rim, the horses sidestepping gingerly upon the hot turf.
"This isn't a sprint," sneered Spurlock, as he followed nimble Plebe Prescott around, Dick doing some saving dodging, ducking and sidestepping. Nearly a dozen of Spurlock's blows Prescott succeeded in escaping, though the plebe was kept so busily on the defensive that he could not get back with anything to count. "Stand up, you jumping-jack!" hissed Spurlock.
No sooner had he sent the boy staggering on his way than he whirled completely round with a ready guard and in no more than the very wink of exigence. Sidestepping a wild swing, he planted a left full on the nose of the nearer assailant and knocked him backwards over a sprawling chair.
"I didn't know you were such an expert roper, Mr. Melton." "It wasn't so bad for an old fellow," admitted his host with a smile; "it took some pretty quick sidestepping to get out of Satan's way, I'll admit. But when I was twenty years younger I used to rope cattle for a living, and narrow escapes were part of the business."
