It was so funny to see them sidling about him, all of them wagging their tails. He was the master, come among the slaves. But to think that even Doctor Krummlaut should sidle! There's a most terrific extra noise going on outside. I can hardly hear myself write. I don't know whether to run and find out what it is, or retreat to the bathroom.
Ashe stood looking reflectively into the fire as he waited for his charges. "Mere words fail to express my admiration," he laughed, bowing to the sextette of pretty girls, who smilingly nodded their appreciation of his speech.

"Pausing and peering, with sidling head, As saucily questioning all I said; While the ox-eye danced on its slender stem, And all glad Nature rejoiced with them." The chewink is a curious exchange for the robin.

"Maddum can wear anything or nothing!" declared Beer triumphantly. That night, Warble, her hands behind her, wafted into Petticoat's room. He sat on the edge of his bed, running lingerie ribbons in his underwear. "I'll stay, always," Warble said, sidling up to him. "And I'm happy. But..." "Look out!

It's jist a bit plea that I've gotten," said the man, laying a hand on the horse's neck and sidling along close to his rider's knee. "For onny advice on kittle points o' law, ye maun go to counsel, my friend. I'm a judge, no' an advocate. Gude e'en to ye."
