A large fire near the slip-rails, shining across the lane and lighting up a corner of the wheat-paddock, showed the way in. Dad stood at the door to take the money. The Andersons eleven of them arrived first. They did n't walk straight in. They hung about for a while. Then Anderson sidled up to Dad and talked into his ear.
Recovering from his somewhat bewildering sense of loss, Alfred, too, was now beginning to sit up and take notice. "What luncheon?" he demanded. Zoie gazed from Alfred to Aggie, then at Jimmy, then resolving to make a clean breast of the matter, she sidled toward Alfred with her most ingratiating manner.
He sidled up to me, uttering aloud some merry commonplace, and then adding, in a low tone: "I was a match for him. He insisted that they were the aggrieved party, and chose swords. I stuck to it that we occupied that position, and had the right to choose pistols. You are no Frenchman, to spit flesh with a wire; but you can shoot, can't you? If we stand to our point, they must yield."
As for the younger man he of the unhandsome mouth P. Sybarite was content to hold him in reserve, to be dealt with later, at his leisure. For the present, his business pressed with the waning night. In high feather, bubbling with mischief, he sidled along the wall a little way, then halted to familiarise himself with scene and atmosphere against his next move.
Presently the old man sidled into a dingy doorway, like a tired beast run to earth, and Ronald followed him, not without a wish that the architect had provided for a more efficient lighting of the sombre passage-way in which he found himself.
Billy always felt as if an angel had come and was ringing the bells of heaven when Marilyn sat at the organ playing the bells. This night a ray of the setting sun slanting through the memorial window on her bronze gold hair gave her the look of Saint Cecilia sitting there in the dimness of the church. Billy sidled into a back seat still chewing and watched her.
When first I put on short trousers, I felt that the eyes of the world were on me; and to escape them I hid behind convenient pieces of furniture while in the house and, so I am told, even sidled close to fences when I walked along the street. With my shyness there was a degree of self-consciousness which put me at a disadvantage in any family or social gathering.
The generality were remarkably similar to ordinary city men or to the hansom-cab drivers of twenty years ago. In the very front of the crowd on the Grand Stand side, leaning with her elbows on the wooden rail, she descried Emily Davison. Vivie edged and sidled through the crowd and touched her on the shoulder.
You know I must go soon, and I am anxious, before this noble company, to make a provision for one who, in sickness as in health, in poverty as in riches, has been my truest and fondest companion." Gambouge mopped his eyes with his handkerchief all the company did likewise. Diabolus sobbed audibly, and Mrs. Gambouge sidled up to her husband's side, and took him tenderly by the hand.
It was as if he had found something solid to cling to in a shifting world. "Come in, Steve." He spoke huskily. Steve sidled into the studio, embarrassment written on every line of him.
