The workroom was as dirty as ever, full of old iron, coal dust and sticky oil stains, half wiped away; but now, as Gervaise saw it, it seemed resplendent with treasure, like a money changer's shop. And so she ventured to repeat softly: "I would return them to you, return them without fail. Ten sous wouldn't inconvenience you."
They cut directly across the swamp and emerged, hot, sticky, and dirty, only a few yards from the boat. They stowed the equipment wordlessly, then poled backwards into the wider channel. It was too narrow to turn, so Rick started the motor and backed out with great caution.
I wondered what they were doing to them, and whether it meant changing heavy guns over to one side, when I grasped the fact, they had gone as high up-stream as they could, and then run aground, and were fixed in the sticky mud of which the bottom of the river was composed. "Ahoy! there aloft," shouted Mr Reardon. "What do you make out?"
Thanks, that was heavenly. Where's my hat. Pass by her. Can leave that Freeman. Letter I have. Suppose she were the? No. Walk, walk, walk. Like Cashel Boylo Connoro Coylo Tisdall Maurice Tisntdall Farrell. Waaaaaaalk. Well, I must be. Are you off? Yrfmstbyes. Blmstup. O'er ryehigh blue. Ow. Bloom stood up. Soap feeling rather sticky behind. Must have sweated: music. That lotion, remember.
It is awfully wet and sticky snow, too; see how it clings to the trees." They sped on. The descent was far easier than the climb, and they could go quickly.

Our horses could scarcely get through the sticky black mud, into which the white suffocating dust of the previous days had been turned by one night's rain.
Somehow or other a country never looks so well from the roads as it appears when you are in the fields.
