Both men said in chorus : 'Tardon me." t"en both sidestepped to the left. 'nen they met again both sidestepped once more, this time to the right, and met again. Then they both stowd still. a"'1 as one man turned to the right nn(l extended his arms above his head (is he flattened himself against the building, build-ing, he said to the other man: "W' when you get by, whistle."
