They made both the inner and outer of these dikes water-tight; so that the water should neither soak back into the lake again, after it was pumped out, nor ooze out into the polders beyond. The way they made them water-tight was by lining them on both sides with a good thick coating of clay.
Here, in company with gulls, turnstones, and other fowl of the foreshore, the rooks strut importantly up and down, digging their powerful bills deep in the ooze and occasionally bullying weaker neighbours out of their hard-earned spoils.

Gimme me 'at, Joe, an' get yourn; if I don't knock some on 'em stone cold call me a perishin' ass!"
Then the head fell back again, his nostrils dilated, there was a slight rattling in his throat, and he was dead. Casanova bent over him, kneeled beside the body, saw a few drops of blood ooze from the wound, held his hand in front of Lorenzi's mouth but the breath was stilled.

We heralded this achievement with yells of triumph that made the forest ring. Our triumph was short-lived.
