Good Heavens! in what an entirely dark and sordid stupor is our Christopher now sunk a veritable slough and quag of stupor out of which, if he does not manage to flounder himself, no human hand can pull him.
Again, behold, on the left hand there was a very dangerous quag, into which, if even a good man falls, he finds no bottom for his foot to stand on: into that quag King David once did fall, and had no doubt therein been smothered, had not he that is able plucked him out.
This faith had been too often a good friend and help to Christopher for him to forget it very long, even while he was staggering in the quag with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Fathers; and gradually, as I say, he worked himself out into the region of activity again.
Eight good miles an' more I took the mare by the Four hol'd Cross, an' across the moor past Tober an' Catshole, an' over Brown Willy, an' round Roughtor to the nor'-west: an' there lies the bravest quag oh, a black, bottomless hole! an' into it I led them; an' there they lie, every horse, an' every mother's son, till Judgment Day." "Dead?"
"Well, it has a great importance for me just now. This row about my grown wheat, which I declare to Heaven I didn't know to be bad till the people came complaining, has put me to my wits' end. I've some hundreds of quarters of it on hand; and if your renovating process will make it wholesome, why, you can see what a quag 'twould get me out of. I saw in a moment there might be truth in it.
Giles's, the music came abruptly to an end, and the people in the street stood at fault with hands uplifted. Whether he was choked with gases, or perished in a quag, or was removed bodily by the Evil One, remains a point of doubt; but the piper has never again been seen or heard of from that day to this.

That in 1734, when Walpole was keeping England at peace that almost at the moment when he boasted, "There are fifty thousand men slain this year in Europe, and not one Englishman," an unmilitary pewterer was here holding at bay the Sheriff, his posse and half a regiment of soldiers, slaying seven and wounding many; and that for eight months he defied the law and defended himself, until cannon had to be dragged over the roads from Pendennis Castle to quell him such a tale may well seem incredible to you unless you can picture the isolation of Cornwall in days when this highway was a quag through which, perhaps twice a week, a train of pack-horses floundered.
It is not perhaps readily realized how difficult it is to write a story so deftly touched with sentiment, while maintaining the necessary economy of personal emotion. "The Sad Case of Quag" exemplifies the gallic aspect of Mr. Rhodes' talent. This uneven volume of short stories by a writer of real though undisciplined talent is full of color and kaleidoscopic hurrying of events.
That's a gig-lamp, to the best of my belief." "O!" said Thomasin in despair. "I wish I had been there sooner give me the baby, Diggory you can go back now." "I must go all the way," said Venn. "There is a quag between us and that light, and you will walk into it up to your neck unless I take you round." "But the light is at the inn, and there is no quag in front of that."
