And a good thing for me, and a providence, that I was gone down Dulverton town to buy sweetstuff for Annie, else my stupid head would have gone astray with their great out-coming. We saw no more of them after that, but turned into the sideway; and soon had the fill of our hands and eyes to look to our own going.
Now, from this peculiar sideway position of the whale's eyes, it is plain that he can never see an object which is exactly ahead, no more than he can one exactly astern. In a word, the position of the whale's eyes corresponds to that of a man's ears; and you may fancy, for yourself, how it would fare with you, did you sideways survey objects through your ears.
Curious that on so warm a summer day, heat should be so comforting! Crossing into the hot room he met George Forsyte coming out, red and glistening. "Hallo!" said George; "what are you training for? You've not got much superfluous." Buffoon! Soames passed him with his sideway smile. Lying back, rubbing his skin uneasily for the first signs of perspiration, he thought: 'Let them laugh!
Soames would have lifted his sideway smile, and rejoined: "That's as it may be. If I get satisfaction for my senses, perpetuation of myself; good taste and good humour in the house; it is all I can expect at my age. I am not likely to be going out of my way towards any far-fetched sentimentalism." Whereon, the enquirer must in good taste have ceased enquiry.
She leaned her own bicycle against the wall. From where she was she could catch a sideway glimpse of a tall, slight figure standing up before the handful of people. "I should like to go inside," she said, indifferently. "Would they think it an intrusion?" "Certainly not," he answered, with visions of a chair before him.
"Now I think I have done with you," said Bathsheba, closing the book and shaking back a stray twine of hair. "Has William Smallbury returned?" "No, ma'am." "The new shepherd will want a man under him," suggested Henery Fray, trying to make himself official again by a sideway approach towards her chair. "Oh he will. Who can he have?"
Standing before us he felt more than at ease, but judging from the confused sideway glances he cast from time to time at his basket, only one thing was spoiling his satisfaction the mushrooms, womanish, peasantish, prose, derogatory to his dignity. "We can't go back!" I said. "We have come over ten miles!" "What's to be done?" sighed Grontovsky.
She hastily caught it before it dropped on the path. 'Ah, believe me! believe what I wrote to you! cried Sanin; all his timidity suddenly vanished, he spoke with heat; 'if there is truth on earth sacred, absolute truth it's that I love, love you passionately, Gemma. She flung him a sideway, momentary glance, and again almost dropped the parasol. 'Believe me! believe me! he repeated.
He derives infinitely less satisfaction from getting down a fifteen-yards putt of this sort than does the man who has holed out at ten feet, and has estimated the rise and fall and the sideway slope of an intervening hillock to begin with and a winding valley to follow, his ball first of all running far away to the right, then trickling across to the left, and finally wheeling round again and rolling into the tin.
The sideway vibration did not amount to more than 1/32 in. on either side of the normal position. More vibration was caused by heavy trucks and wagons going over the stone pavement than by the elevated railway trains or surface cars.
