What's it mean by "at your elbow?"

Native speaker’s answer

"At your elbow" means being right next to you. When the writer says, "Speak of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow," he means that when you speak about someone, they might appear right next to you. Ex: My best friend is always at my elbow when I need her. = My best friend is always next to me to support me when I need her. Ex: My manager needed me at his elbow during the meeting. = My manager needed me next to him during the meeting.
