"Lance away" Hi, what's the meaning of "lance away"? The context goes like this: "Realizing he was staring, Alfred’s blue eyes lanced away, realizing the older woman had disappeared back into the apartment, apparently getting something since Ivan was still waiting by the open door, and came back out with a handful of full Tupperware." • It probably means something like "He averted his eyes." but when the meaning of "lance" taken into consideration it makes no sense. I also couldn't find any other usage of "lance away" Is it a typo?
