The man studied Ross closely, and then his fingers moved in a sign which to the uninitiated native might have been one for the warding off of evil, but which to Ross was the "thumbs up" of his own age. "Sanford?" At that name the man shook his head. "McNeil," he named himself. "Where is Ashe?" He might really be what he seemed, but on the other hand, he could be a Red spy.
Now the gods knew well that their dreams were messages given them by the Norns, or Fates, and not for a moment did Odin and Frigga venture to laugh at Balder's fears. They soothed him, however, by promising to find some means of warding off any danger that might be threatening him.
He made a step forward, but shrinking back until she appeared almost to crouch against the wall, she put out her hands as if warding off his approach. "Don't touch me!" she said; and though she spoke in a whisper, her words seemed to shriek back at her from the air.
He saw her retreat, warding off the fat courier with her hands; he saw her stumble and fall; he saw Anubis fly, with a chatter of rage, in the face of the courier, and struggling mightily, he threw off his captors, and leaped to his feet.

"No," said George, coolly; "but perhaps we shall come to see more alike in time. I don't want to tyrannise only to show you what I think. Shall I carry up your cloak for you?" He approached her punctiliously. Letty gathered her wraps upon her arm in a disdainful silence, warding him off with a gesture.
To these latter suggestions I point out that, while they are very good, especially the zaplieh idea, so far as warding off Circassians is concerned, my adoption of a uniform would most certainly get me into hot water with the military authorities of every town and village, owing to my ignorance of the vernacular, and cause me no end of vexatious delay.
And then in the midst of it all, while I was warding off his fury, and the sparks flew from our weapons every instant, I suddenly felt my hand jarred as though I had touched a conger, and the blade of my cutlass snapped off at the hilt with a crash, and I stood there at his mercy.
Weel, they began to crack about the Bass and which of them twa was to get the warding o't, and by little and little cam to very ill words, and twined in anger. I mind weel, that as my faither and me gaed hame again, he cam ower and ower the same expression, how little he likit Tod Lapraik and his dwams. "Dwam!" says he. "I think folk hae brunt far dwams like yon."
