There came another of these beastly surprises of which the moon world is full. My mailed hand seemed to go clean through him. He smashed like like some softish sort of sweet with liquid in it! He broke right in! He squelched and splashed. It was like hitting a damp toadstool. The flimsy body went spinning a dozen yards, and fell with a flabby impact. I was astonished.
Look at the men troops of 'em! Alex Anan knew when he tried his luck. You had to tell Mr. Cuyp, but Shiela was obliged to turn him down after all. It certainly has not intimidated anybody. Do you remember two years ago how persistent Louis Malcourt was until you squelched him?" "Yes; but he didn't know the truth then. He acts sometimes as though he knew it now.
We squelched along a narrow strip of plank with the trenches on one side and a sort of cesspool on the other no wonder they got typhoid, and I prayed I mightn't slip. We could walk upright further on without our heads showing, which was a comfort, as it is extremely tiring to walk for long in a stooping position.
Then the heavy boots squelched out again, going towards the river bank, where the waiting boat was tied to the mooring post.

The forest road was covered with pools from a recent shower of rain, and the earth squelched under one's feet. The crimson glow of sunset flooded the whole forest, coloring the white stems of the birches and the young leaves. I was exhausted and could hardly move. Four or five miles from home, walking along the forest road, I suddenly met a big black dog of the water spaniel breed.
As for being a Christian, I was that, I hope and believe, when you were crawling about the floor in petticoats. THAT squelched him, believe ME. Mind you, Anne dearie, I'm not down on all evangelists. We've had some real fine, earnest men, who did a lot of good and made the old sinners squirm. But this Fiske-man wasn't one of them. I had a good laugh all to myself one evening.
The Southern nullifiers, who had been "squelched" by General Jackson, began to revive under the more genial rule of Mr. Van Buren, and they established an "organ" called the Washington Chronicle. It was edited by Richard K. Cralle, who came from Leesburg, Virginia.
