On he runs
1. Does "On he runs" mean "he gets on with his work" or "he keeps running"?
2. Does the yellow highlighted sentence mean "sometimes he goes one step to the left or right to make sure that he will not encounter with any pillar or person"?
Now there appears to be nothing at all on display and I’m just reflecting on how bare and ‘tidied up’ the galleries are looking by comparison, when the figure of a young man with reddish hair flashes by me from behind. On he runs, looking as though he’s bursting a gut, every so often checking his stride with a slight, shuffling sidestep so as to avoid any collisions with pillar or person.
