He squatted by the white wall, the mind rummaging among the incidents of the long dooli journey, the lama's weaknesses, and, now that the stimulus of talk was removed, his own self-pity, of which, like the sick, he had great store. The unnerved brain edged away from all the outside, as a raw horse, once rowelled, sidles from the spur.
"It's Coyote's third expedition into town, an' he's hoverin' about the New York store waitin' for 'em to figger up his wolf pelts an' cut out his plunder so he freights it back to his dug-out. Dan an' Texas is also procrastinatin' 'round, an' they sidles up allowin' to have their little jest.
The half-pound boxes get finished, wax paper on top, covered, stacked, counted, put on the truck. “Lena! Start the girl here in on 'assorteds.” Pert little Lena sidles up alongside and nudges me in the ribs. “Say, got a fella?” I give Lena one look, for which Belasco should pay me a thousand dollars a night. Lena reads it out loud quick as a wink.
""Well," I says, "I ain't seen my hand since the draw, but I'll raise you nine blind." An' I boards a ten-dollar bill. "'When the rest goes, I sorter sidles forth an' lines out for the dance-hall.

The man who sidles by you, keeping close to the houses, and selecting the easiest planks, manages to slip through life in some such way, and to evade its sternest duties. The awkward man, who gets in your way, and throws you back upon the man behind you, and so manages to derange the harmonious procession of an entire block, is very apt to do the same thing in political and social economy.
When feeding in such places he wades up-stream, and often while his head is under water the swift current is deflected upward along the glossy curves of his neck and shoulders, in the form of a clear, crystalline shell, which fairly incloses him like a bell-glass, the shell being broken and re-formed as he lifts and dips his head; while ever and anon he sidles out to where the too powerful current carries him off his feet; then he dexterously rises on the wing and goes gleaning again in shallower places.

"He's so very prompt! Are you sure you can do it carefully, my worthy man?" Phil makes no reply, but seizing the chair and its load, sidles away, tightly hugged by the now speechless Mr.
And he turns face aside and he sidles away, * While I stand like a dog disappointed, unmanned, Oh, the sorry lot his who hath yellow-boys none, * Though his genius and virtues shine bright as the sun! O my master," continued the Steward, "this lavish outlay and these magnificent gifts waste away wealth."
