Carradine looked neither to the right nor left. He simply shrugged his shoulders slightly, gave his cane an extra flick, and strode majestically out into the thick of the traffic. "He glared at the car bearing down upon him in the first lane like Rasputin spearing a victim with a glance. The driver slammed on his brakes just in time and stopped. Carradine continued on Into the the next lane of traffic, glared again.

The onrushlng car stopped with screech of burning rubber, and the driver, mouth agape, watched in disbelief as Carradine stalked up onto the sidewalk, lt was a beautiful performance.
