126 set one's course
держать курс, направляться [этим. мор.]He stole under the trees, along the deep shadow of little plantations, shaping his course in circles that had for their object a stealthy inspection of chairs side by side against tree-trunks, of enlaced lovers who stirred at his approach. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part III, ch. II) — Сомс свернул с дорожки, огибавшей пруды, и прошел под деревья, под густую тень каштанов; и в этом уже совсем темном убежище он ходил дозором, внимательно приглядываясь к тем, кто сидел на стульях, придвинутых к самым деревьям, приглядывался к обнявшимся парам, которые отстранялись друг от друга, заслышав его шаги.
Renwick left the room quickly, but as he went down the shallow stone steps... setting his course along the road for his home, his pace insensibly diminished and his thoughts again grew heavy. (A. J. Cronin, ‘Hatter's Castle’, book III, ch. 6) — Из кабинета Ренвик вышел быстро, но, сойдя по отлогим каменным ступеням... незаметно для самого себя замедлил шаг. Он направился домой вдоль дороги, и его снова одолели мрачные мысли.
He didn't know how to shape his course in that particular situation. — Он не знал, какой линии держаться в создавшемся положении.
