New York he could not dissociate it now from the slow, upward creep of this people the little stores, growing, expanding, consolidating, moving, watched over with hawk's eyes and a bee's attention to detail they slathered out on all sides. It was impressive in perspective it was tremendous. Gloria's voice broke in with strange appropriateness upon his thoughts.
Bat sat down on the desk where he could read over the other's shoulder. The proof reeked of "gore" and "shambles" and "heavily armed masked men" and rifle shots thick as hail stones with a sheriff careening over the Mesas at break neck speed slathered with zeal for law. "What reforms are you jollying along now?" asked Bat. "We'll jolly you fellows when this comes out."
His eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks were putty-yellow and, had he been a dog instead of a man, his fangs would have been slathered with foam. Heretofore he had spoken hesitantly and cautiously. Now like the epileptic or the mad dog, he burst into a volcanic outpouring in which wild words tumbled upon themselves in a cataract of boiling abandon.
I heard no carols in the trenches on Christmas Eve in 1915, but afterward, when I sat with a pint of water in each of my top-boots, among a company of men who were wet to the knees and slathered with moist mud, a friend of mine raised his hand and said, "Listen!" Through the open door came the music of a mouth organ, and it was playing an old tune: God rest ye, merry gentlemen.
It calls forth all our native genius; it is the expression of our originality, our inventiveness, our ingenuity, our idealism," and so on, for a full column slathered with deadly and self-betraying encomiums.

But Lord! I didn't know thet kid no more did thet Albrecht."
His mother said that the onions and asparagus were not as good as when they had been freshly cooked more than two hours ago. But they tasted fine to Jerry. Nor did he mind that the pot roast and rolls were reheated. He slathered butter on three rolls and would have eaten a fourth if he had not seen the necessity of saving room for a piece of apple pie.
Tarlac couldn't help laughing at that incongruous idea, even as he slathered a thick layer onto the day's find of salvis roots. There were more than enough for a human, though again, not for a Traiti.
You know w'ere she lives, forty-six Bromley Road." One lad, his nerve gone, pushed his way frantically down the trench. He had "funked it." He was hysterical with fright and crying in a dry, shaking voice, "It's too 'orrible! I can't stand it! Blow you to 'ell they do! Look at me! I'm slathered in blood! I can't stand it! They ain't no man can stand it!" He met with scant courtesy.
After some argument, Susan yielded to the madam's pleadings and contented herself with the twenty dollars.
