Venus is not my goddess. Diana "'The Huntress, I broke in again. "'Pallas Athene, the guardian and guide of heroes, she countered neatly.
A huge obstacle to the northwest, probably a buried clump of brush, had made the wind turn back upon itself, first downward, then, at the bottom of the pit, in a direction opposite to that of the main current above, and finally slantways upward again to the summit of the obstacle, where it rejoined the parent blow.
Then, seeing us follow at undiminished speed, it would straighten out again and dart away like an arrow. At the end of its first straight run it apparently made up its mind that it was time to employ somewhat different tactics in order to escape. So it jumped slantways across the soft, central cushion of the trail into the other track.
A tear had made a glazed snail's track down Miss Lambert's cheek; and Mary thought that one of them was dead Roddy Dan Papa. "My dear, my dear don't cry. You're going home." "Why? Why am I going?" She could see the dull, kind eyes trying to look clever. "Because your mother has sent for you. She wants you back again." "Mamma? What does she want me for?" Miss Lambert's eyes turned aside slantways.
It blew in slantways under the top, then described a curve upward, and downward again, as if it were going to settle on the right end of the back.

"Ah tried to maake yore broother coom back long o' us, but 'e would na."
"Now, children, you see what good the Sky Sweepers do," said the Doctor. "Sky Sweepers! We don't call 'em that! We call 'em Chimney Swallows!" Then the children told Joe about the Bird Brotherhoods. "Stand on this box," said Joe to Dodo, "and look hard at that small slantways branch, with the little bunch on it!" "The little round bunch that looks like soft green moss?" "Yes.
Here he confessed to a knife-like pain in his left side; the brunt of the blow, it seemed, had met him slantways between rib and hip. A cursory examination made Mahony look grave. "You must come back with me, John, and let me see to you properly." Having expressed the chief guest's regrets to the company, he ordered a horse and trap, and helping John into it drove him home.
And with my mind's eye I saw the dusky bird: shooting slantways upward in its low flight which ends in a nearly perpendicular slide down to within ten or twelve feet from the ground, the bird being closely followed by a second one pursuing. In reality I did not see the birds, but I heard the fast whir of their wings. Another bird I saw but did not hear. It was a small owl.
Round the spinney; slantways across a field; up and over a gate, the girl clinging to me like a leech; down a lane; up and over another gate; and then the girl's shaking right arm was thrust over my shoulder. "There's th' ouse! 0', God, if we anna in time!" "How many are there?" "Two, sir." I pulled Sultan up at the farmyard gate, helped her down, and jumped after her.
