They relied as a rule upon Whymper to-day they had depended upon Dune.
It was customary for young people of all conditions to give men as aged as Barf Latrigg the honorable name of "grandfather;" and Charlotte said, as she sat down in the breezy shadow beside him, "Who is first, grandfather?" "Why, our Stephen, to be sure! They'll have to be up before day-dawn to keep sidey with our Steve. Steve, how many is thou ahead now?"
"Did you ever notice, old sidey, how hard this ground is?" "Oh, yes," said Moss, as he turned over, hunting for a soft spot, "it is hard, but we'll forget all that when this trip ends. Brother, dear, just think of those long slings with red cherries floating around in them that we'll be drinking, and picture us smoking cigars in a blaze.
They laughed at him and called him 'sidey. "I suppose you're afraid your aunt'll come along and cut you out of her will." On the whole he got on well enough with the girls. They thought him a little queer; but his club-foot seemed to excuse his not being like the rest, and they found in due course that he was good-natured. He never minded helping anyone, and he was polite and even tempered.
His next four child-bed patients were affected with puerperal fever, and it was the first time he had seen it in practice. As Dr. Am. Jour. Med. Sc., October, 1851. Peddie. The five or six cases of Dr. Sidey, followed by the four of Dr. Simpson, did not end the series. A practitioner in Leith having examined in Dr.

"He seems to have sprouted in the night. I've no use for these star skaters myself. They're all so beastly sidey." He addressed Scott as an equal, and as an equal Scott made reply. "P'raps when you're a star skater yourself, you'll change your mind about 'em." The boy grinned. "Ah! P'raps! You're a new chum, aren't you?" "Very new," said Scott. "Can you skate?" asked the lad.
Fortune instead of beneath him; and he was cold to and refused to participate in the truant schoolboy air which Twyning adopted when they were together. Twyning called this "sidey." He was anxious to show Sabre, when Sabre first came to the firm, the best places to lunch in Tidborough, but Sabre was frequently lunching with one of the School housemasters or at the Masters' common room.
But he liked Linton, and wanted to be friendly with him. "Thanks," he said. Linton sat down on the table and burst into a torrent of speech. "You are a man! What did you want to do it for? Where the dickens did you learn to box? And why on earth, if you can win silver medals at Aldershot, didn't you box for the house and smash up that sidey ass Stanning?
Sidey, followed by the four of Dr. Simpson, did not end the series. A practitioner in Leith having examined in Dr. Simpson's house, a portion of the uterus obtained from one of the patients, had immediately afterwards three fatal cases of puerperal fever.
