I tell ye right now that hobo that was a-bummin' roun' here t'other mornin's got nothin' on you fur sheer, blowed-in-th'-glass laziness." "Fwhat?" Slavin violently contorting his grim face into a horrible semblance of persuasive gallantry edged cautiously towards the irate dame much the same as a rough-rider will "So, ho, now!" and sidle up to a bad horse.
The soldier knocked again impatiently, and again stood aside. Chris saw Nicholas sidle up to the man with something of the same awe on his face that had been there an hour ago. "My Lord Master Cromwell?" he heard him whisper, correcting himself. The man jerked a thumb over his shoulder. "There," he said.
Suddenly he thought of a remark that had hitherto never failed to arouse the liveliest interest in a new acquaintance. "I'm one o' the Sawyer orphants," he announced proudly. The dark man looked no whit impressed. He made no reply, and Tim gained courage to sidle up closer, and finally seated himself, in an insinuating manner, on the extreme end of a piece of timber that lay before the door.
I taught him all the niceties of obedience acclaimed in perfect parade horses till he would stand, sidle, back, sidle diagonally, curvet and execute all the show-steps promptly at the signalling touch or sound. I tamed him till he would let anybody gentle him, till it was perfectly safe for anyone to ride him.
Mr. Mitchett brightly thought. "No. That must be just why I appeal to you. And it can't therefore be for confirmation, can it?" he went on. "It must be for the beautiful primary hint altogether."

Now, Gadabout began to sidle toward the port bank of the river as our next harbour, Chippoak Creek, was on that side. Here the shore grew steep; and at one point high up we caught glimpses of the little village of Claremont. At its pier lay a three-masted schooner and several barges and smaller boats.
Beamish himself in a freak of his gaiety, was once popular enough to provoke the moralist to animadversions upon an order of composition that 'tempted every bouncing country lass to sidle an eye in a blowsy cheek' in expectation of a coronet for her pains and a wet ditch as the result! We may doubt it to have been such an occasion of mischief.
And yet Redfox states positively that he sent the agents of the police to the sailors' home, to sidle up to the crew that I dismissed and to try to get out of them all the information they could. But what do they know? What can they prove? Oh, I am such a coward! Come, John, come. Drive these stupid fears out of your head. Think of the future and not of the past."
On this first occasion he had been seen to sidle along the wall, with his left hand to his left ear, until he had sidled himself into a seat pretty near the singer, in which place and position he had remained, until addressing to his friends the amateurs the compliment before mentioned.
Through any crowd that man will come sidling towards me, ruthless and irresistible as fate; while I, foreknowing my doom, sidle also him- wards, and flatter myself that no sign of my inward apprehension has escaped me. Supreme Occasions Men are seldom more commonplace than on supreme occasions.
