Letting go his father's hand, Hal started to skate toward the place where the little poodle dog had last been seen. "Wait don't go," said Mr. Blake quickly, but there was no need. For, as soon as Hal let go of his Daddy's hands, his feet, on which were still the slippery skates, slid out from under him, and down he went again. "Oh dear!" cried Mab. "Everything is happening!
Captain Drawlock hastened over to receive his charge from the hands of the medical attendant; and paying Isabel some compliments on her appearance, was handing her over to the weather-side, where Mrs Ferguson was seated, when a sea of larger dimensions than usual careened the ship to what the sailors term a "heavy lurch." The decks were wet and slippery.
"Well, I'd rather be shot than go to Leavenworth for twenty years, Gawd! I would," cried Al. "How do you fellers eat here?" asked Slippery. "We buy stuff an' the dawg-faced girl cooks it for us." "Got anything for this noon?" "I'll go see if I can buy some stuff," said Andrews. "It's safer for me to go out than for you."
Beyond, we could see the strong cliffs again, but far out of reach. Behind were only the narrow rocks over which we had come; and on either side the cruel sea cut us off from all hope of gaining the land. I sank on the slippery sea-weed, in an agony of terror, sobbing out my mother's name. Georgie sat down beside me. "Don't cry, Allie!" he said, in a trembling voice. "Please don't!
After passing two depressing marshes, they came to a hillside so steep, so slippery, so dark, so forbidding, that one of the pack-horses balked, shook his head, and reared furiously, as if to say "I can't do it, and I won't try." And Wayland sympathized with him. The forest was gloomy and cold, and apparently endless.
And presently Eric opened his eyes and looked up, and found the eyes of Gudruda fixed on his, and there was that in them which made him glad he had dared the path of Golden Falls. Now Asmund the priest bent down, and Eric saw him and spoke: "Thou badest me to thy Yule-feast, lord, by yonder slippery road and I have come. Dost thou welcome me well?" "No man better," quoth Asmund.
In camp one should in addition wear a sailor blouse, and a pair of sneakers, which though rather heating for the feet are very comfortable and very satisfactory for long tramps through the woods. The rubber soles give a firm footing on slippery moss and dead leaves, while high heels might cause a wrenched ankle or a bad fall.
I felt very sick and ill, but I could move my limbs, and I staggered blindly forward away from the house. A small mill-lade ran in a wooden aqueduct at the other side of the yard, and into this I fell. The cool water revived me, and I had just enough wits left to think of escape. I squirmed up the lade among the slippery green slime till I reached the mill-wheel.
The rain made traveling worse, and worse waxed the old road. "I vow!" exclaimed Mr. Adams, as his small horse staggered and almost fell on a steep, slippery place. "This is as bad as storming the City of Mexico. How do you like it, Grigsby?" "I thought I'd seen bad trails, on some of my overland trips with Frémont, but this beats them all."
The turf was drenched and slippery, and for all that they moved from place to place testing the ground, their principals following, nowhere could they find the conditions sufficiently improved to decide upon engaging. To Garnache the utility of this was apparent from the first. If these gentlemen had thought to avoid slippery ground, they should have elected to appoint the meeting elsewhere.
