Almost automatically he kept his place as the sled bumped ahead or half- lifted and heeled on the swings and swerves of the bends.
It is therefore only dimly, as through a mist, that we can see the two lines of polemen pass from the prow to the stern on the narrow running-board of a keel boat, lifting and setting their poles to the cry of steersman or captain. The struggle in a swift "rife" or rapid is momentous. If the craft swerves, all is lost.
He is one of the few, among gaily painted butterflies that certain birds like and hawk for. When in full flight, by swift swerves and doubles, he generally manages to evade his enemies, but during moments of preoccupation is compelled to adopt a protective disguise.
If he swerves definitely in your direction, AND DROPS HIS HEAD A LITTLE LOWER, it would be just as well to open fire. Provided the beast was still far enough away to give me "sea-room," I used to put a small bullet in the flesh of the outer part of the shoulder. The wound thus inflicted was not at all serious, but the shock of the bullet usually turned the beast.
And she wanted to show Billy the letter from the President, it was in her pocket. And she knew if Billy said he'd never tell that he would not. But a soldier never swerves from duty and had not her father called her his "General"? "I I can't, Billy," she finished. There was something so final in her voice and in the set of her lips that Billy, red with rage, rose quickly to his feet.
Olof swerves a little to the right, and leaps off, coming down in a whirl of spray. The rock has done its part, and sent the end of the log high out of the water; Olof lands on it and goes on again, the log scraping the face of the rock as it passes. "Sticks like a leech, he does! He's done it now!" A cheer from the crowd. Straight down in midstream now.
This is the exit of the Lesse, which, higher up the vale, at the curious Perte de Lesse, swerves suddenly from its obvious course, down the bright and cheerful valley, to plunge noisily through a narrow slit in the rock "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea."
He has set himself from the first a task the mastery of the human structure and its movements; and with the resolution and perseverance of a strong nature, he never swerves from his purpose. This is the conscious aim and intention of the artist.
The greater difficulty which a rider has in keeping her seat when her mount abruptly swerves to the left, than when he goes to the right, is due to the fact that in the former case, the upper crutch is drawn away from the right thigh; but in the latter case, it forms a more or less effective obstacle to the forward movement of the right thigh, and thus helps the rider to retain her seat.
Bar accidents, I must win. They do not know that the chestnut has not extended himself yet." We lose sight of the horses for a little. When we see them a gain, the mare has decidedly gained ground; and, to our astonishment, the Axeine swerves, and refuses at rather an easy fence. Miss Bellasys' cheek flushes this time.
