"On his one side" then is a grammatical error of mine (at his one side?, or else?)
I'd go with 'on one side' or 'on his left/right' here. Probably the latter as it aids reader visualisation.
debarrasses - ups, that's French, my fault of presuming it found its way into the English language with the Normans - it simply means "to get rid of" or "removing" (you gathered that, I assume) - I shouldn't try to be sophisticated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
Heh. 'To try and fail is better than never to try at all' as a wise man once said <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You have a very good grasp of written English, so one minor fault is nothing to be concerned about, believe me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
And hey - you learned something new, which is always good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
