It proved that some one had crossed from the other side upon it, while the withes were so white and fresh at the angles, where they were twisted open, as to show that the raft had been made but a short time. The natural question was as to who could have been coming from the other way. "I know," said Terry, compressing his lips and shaking his head. "Who?"
The consequence was that no one would read his novel. And who can apportion out and dovetail his incidents, dialogues, characters, and descriptive morsels so as to fit them all exactly into 930 pages, without either compressing them unnaturally, or extending them artificially at the end of his labour?
Out of the boughs high above them broke a great bird. "There, there, what a chap!" cried Pelle, pointing at it. It sailed slowly downward, on its mighty outspread wings, now and again compressing the air beneath it with a few powerful strokes, and then flew onward, close above the tree- tops, with a scrutinizing glance. "Jiminy, I believe that was a stork!" said Madam Johnsen.
Gordon Makimmon's head throbbed, suddenly paining him it was as though sharp, malicious fingers were compressing the spine at the base of his brain.
I suppose I'll have to take my share of them. Ever nursed?" "No, sir," responded Rachel, compressing as much ahughtiness as possible into the answer. "Of course not. Girls at your age are not at all likely to know anything that is useful, and least of all how to nurse a sick man.
What he said made a good deal of impression on the father; but the daughter wouldn't believe it then at any rate, she loved the doctor still, and would, as long as she knew he loved her."

Then try to imagine your whole body so laced, only much more tightly, and that the squeeze, instead of being merely on the instep of one foot, is on your entire trunk, compressing to the seeming of death your heart, your lungs, and all the rest of your vital and essential organs. I remember the first time they gave me the jacket down in the dungeons.

Belcher ordered the coachman to drive him home, and then sank back on his seat, and crowding his lips together, and compressing his disappointment into his familiar expletive, he rode back to his house as rigid in every muscle as if he had been frozen. "Is there any such thing as a virtuous devil, I wonder," he muttered to himself, as he mounted his steps. "I doubt it; I doubt it."
The fellow spoke again in a low tone, but beyond a slight compressing of her lips she did not seem to hear him. Without a word, Bannon came forward, took him by the arm, and led him out of the door.
