to make a grab for something
looking very windswept
jacket lining
at the best of times
to bang into something
to send someone along
to set off across the dark yard

to rouse somebody
jeans with one-inch turn-ups

to make good time
to draw closer to somebody
all in all
to sigh
to clutch a stitch in one’s side
