Yet I was so weak and bruised in the sides with the squeezes given me by this odious animal, that I was forced to keep my bed a fortnight.
Then, kneeling astride of his legs, put both your hands on the small of his back and press downward with all your weight while you count three. This squeezes the abdomen and the lower part of the chest so as to drive the air out of the lungs.
There are difficult bits in those caves in the Grève de la Ville, steep ascents, and black drops in sheer faith into unknown depths, and tight squeezes past sloping shelves which seem on the point of closing and cracking one like a nut; and when they crawled out at last into a boulder-strewn plateau, open to the sea on one side only, they sighed gratefully at the ample height and breadth of things, and sank down on the shingle to breathe the free air and sunshine.

"'It shows brands an' y'ear marks as sech, Nellie, says Enright; 'love an' loco makes up the heft of it. "'Then tell it, urges Faro Nell. 'I'm actooally hungerin' for a love story, an' she reaches down an' squeezes Cherokee's hand onder the table.
The western one turns northward, and then westward again, roofs itself over, squeezes itself till it becomes little less than a rectangular pipe, and finally discharges itself under an oil and colourman's house in Fetter Lane.

Cooke respect and admiration for your principles." "Well, sir, I will thank you to express what you may feel in plain language, but not in such damnable squeezes as that." "Pardon me, again, sir; I was ignorant that the rheumatism was in your hand; you know I am not your physician; perhaps if I were you could bear a friendly shake of it without all that agony.
One thought was that he was glad his friend had such a good servant as James to look after him. He knew what a scream of delight would greet him as he poked his head in; and out in the darkness and cold John Clark smiled and smacked his lips as he thought of the kisses and squeezes, and renewed kisses that would be his lot as he told how he would be with them all the evening.
