A friend of mine a most respectable man, and one, I may as well observe, of no slight rank used to say, 'Nowadays, it seems, if a hen wants a grain of corn she approaches it cunningly, watches anxiously for an opportunity of sidling up to it. But when I look at you, dear lady, I recognize in you a truly angelic nature. May I be allowed to kiss your snow-white hand?"
"There's the office bell," murmured the doctor, sidling away and hearing the reproachful voice lessening in the distance "how hard I try nothing fit " The office door closed; the worst was over. There would be a good supper William had no misgivings on that point. Mrs. Richie would talk to him, and he would tease her and make her laugh, and laugh himself.
On we went toward the top of the lock, sneaking, sidling, pushing, here and there thanks to a good-natured, helping hand, here and there thanks to a shout from the lock-keeper to a sulky bargeman. On the lock-keeper the sight of the Club flag had a magic effect, and he evidently intended to make its rights respected, no doubt counting on a five gulden "tip" at the end.
All the time Matt Peasley was circling around the deck, with All Hands And Feet sidling after him. "Then you've got something coming, sir," Matt replied. "Help yourself to a reserved seat on the rail and watch the joyous procedure. Mr. Murphy?" "Here, sir," Mr. Murphy replied promptly. "I'm going to thrash the big fellow, Mr. Murphy. Stand by to see fair play and keep the crew off him.
He moved off with dignity as his daughter, who had overheard the remark, came sidling up to the mate and smiled on him agreeably. "He's put another portrait there," she said softly. "You'll find the mustard-pot in the cruet," said the mate coldly. Miss Alsen turned and watched her father as he went forward, and then, to the mate's surprise, went below without another word.
He splashed across the pool and poked around with a stick in the hole in the ground, and almost right away he saw what the reason was. He ran back to tell Mr. Welles. "I see now. The brook had kept sidling over that way, and washed the earth from under the rocks. It just didn't have enough ground left to hold on to." He felt all right now he knew some simple reason for what had looked so crazy.
The little cabin shrank back against the steep side of the mountain as though half terrified at the hollow immensity of the welkin above, or the almost sheer drop to the valley five hundred feet beneath. A sidling mountain trail passed the front of its rail fence, and stones continually rolled from the upper to the lower side of this highway. The day was darkening rapidly.
The whistler stopped in the middle of a bar, and presently Fenn saw a figure sidling towards him in what struck him as a particularly furtive manner. "Wot's thet, gav'nor?" "Can you tell me where the High Street is? I've lost my way." The vague figure came closer. "'Igh Street? Yus; yer go "
All he cared for was to dress in his last-created riding togs, and steal away to the Robin Hill Gate, where presently the silver roan would come demurely sidling with its slim and dark-haired rider, and in the glades bare of leaves they would go off side by side, not talking very much, riding races sometimes, and sometimes holding hands.
Very warily he made his approaches, sidling down the ledge so as to give his quarry the least possible room for escape. As he drew near, the bird turned and faced him, with its one uninjured wing lifted menacingly and its formidable beak wide open.
