Up they went, ladder after ladder, squeezing through narrow places, rubbing against wet rocks and beams, scraping against the boarding of the kibble-shaft, and being scraped by the pump-rods until both of them were as wet and red and dirty as any miner below.
The first thing tomorrow morning, said old Sol; 'and now good-bye, Ned Cuttle, and God bless you! Squeezing both the Captain's hands, with uncommon fervour, as he said it, the old man turned to Florence, folded hers in his own, and put them to his lips; then hurried her out to the coach with very singular precipitation.
With plucked handfuls of grass he cleansed himself of much of the swamp mire that coated him over; but the little white worm that gnawed at his nerves had become a cold snake that was coiled about his heart, squeezing it tighter and tighter! This episode of the attempt to kill the Belled Buzzard occurred in the afternoon of the third day.
We have sometimes seen them conferring together among themselves in a strange manner. They seem very simple in their discourse, yet are they very cunning and shrewd. In speaking they are neither loud nor loquacious, using accents similar to ours, but squeezing as it were most of their words between the teeth and the lips.
My lord jumped as briskly as a boy out of the door on his side of the coach, squeezing little Harry behind it; had hold of the potato-thrower's collar in an instant, and the next moment the brute's heels were in the air, and he fell on the stones with a thump. "You hulking coward!" says he; "you pack of screaming blackguards! how dare you attack children, and insult women?
"Well, get up and stretch," advised Laura. "Seventh inning." Violet started to follow her advice but was flung back full force into Billie's lap, thereby squeezing out a startled "Umph!" from the sufferer. "Say, you needn't take it out on me," cried Billie indignantly. "I didn't put your foot to sleep." "She's no nurse girl," murmured Laura. The girls laughed and forgot their discomfort.
Like a heavy load of sin, he hung on to the legs of his prey, squeezing his knees together in an iron embrace, worrying his enemy's calves with his teeth, kicking and cuffing him, and striving to hurl him into the abyss below. Ivan was fairly mad with terror. "Help!" he roared, in a voice capable of arousing the Seven Sleepers, "help! He is killing me!"
He knew that Peter Mink was fond of squeezing through narrow places; and he didn't see how he could follow him. But after a while Cuffy began to smile again right after Jimmy Rabbit had come and whispered something in his ear. You see, Jimmy went to everybody in the parade and whispered. And last of all he went to Peter Mink and whispered in his ear, too.
I could not occupy my cold and dreary pinnacle a moment longer, but sought an early opportunity of squeezing her hand two seats behind the voluminous asylum of Briggs's toes, and whispering, slightly confused by intensity of feeling, that if I had done any thing I was sorry for, I was willing to be forgiven. From that moment I was Miss Tucker's slave. Oh, woman, woman!
"We have a cook stove out there." "Ain't that just lovely!" beamed Mrs. Daggett, squeezing the girl's slim hand in both her own. "Most folks wouldn't go to the trouble of doing anything so nice. No wonder they're hustling." "Mebbe they won't hustle so fast toward the end of the job," said Lois Daggett. "You'll find men-folks are always ready to take advantage of any kind of foolishness.
