Hi Eugene,

If this is anything to do with the expression we use in Spain "de refilón", I think 'by chance' or 'by coincidence' would fit the three contexts, though each might have a different translation

hear..through the grapevine
seen...though the corner of my eye
said nonchalantly

Good luck!

agree Marina Soldati : Ahora que lo mencionas, en Argentina también usamos "de refilón", pero parece querer decir lo mismo. Saludos!
