When you come or find yourself coming full bat, it is called, against
another person, you endeavour to get out of the way. Let an old man
advise you not to do so. Stand still. He will endeavour to get out of
your way, and, by your standing still, he will effect it. If you both
endeavour to get by at the same time, as there are but two sides, it is
an even wager you run against each other.
