It is estimated that within the first hundred feet below the surface of the earth there is a quantity of water that has seeped down; and that would form, if it were collected, a vast reservoir sixteen or seventeen feet in depth spreading over all the 3,000,000 square miles of the area of our country. This is equal to about seven years' rainfall and is a very important part of our water resources.
And it would give him Josephine. This was the temptation. The power that resisted it was the spirit of that big, clean, fighting North which makes men out of a beginning of flesh and bone. Ten years of that North had seeped into Philip's being. He hung on. It was November when he reached Port MacPherson, and he had not opened the letter.
The air that had been so pure when the house was opened, now was heavy with an odor of damp and mould that had seeped into the atmosphere as moisture will seep through cellar walls. One would have said that the door of some hideous vault had been opened into my bedchamber.
Then he paused! "That sand's wet," declared Arnold, who had observed closely. "Tide's away up and probably has seeped through the little sand intervening," declared Harrison. "I expected it." "Why, look at him," hoarsely urged Frank. "He seems to be floundering about. Can it be he's in trouble?" "It would look that way," declared Tom.
"It's so little, Gerald. Three rooms and the littlest, babiest kitchen. When you're once up, I'll teach its every corner to you." Tears seeped through the line where his lids had been, and it was almost more than she could bear. "I'll make it up to you, though, Hester. I know I should have been strong enough to hold out against your marrying me, but I'll make it up.
The walls were very thin. From beyond them, in what was evidently a public chamber, came snatches of talk interspersed with oaths, a click of poker chips and coin, now and then a song. An odor of rank tobacco seeped through the muslin-covered walls. With a sudden feeling of nausea, of complete despair, the girl threw herself face down upon the bed.
The independence seeped out of him and he walked the streets alone, afraid of men's cynical eyes and the incessant hiss of whispering. HE tried to explain to his wife, as they prepared for bed, how objectionable was Sheldon Smeeth, but all her answer was, "He has such a beautiful voice so spiritual. I don't think you ought to speak of him like that just because you can't appreciate music!"
Rumors of the excursion seeped through the channels of gossip and set the town talking and chuckling and speculating after the manner of very small towns. Rumors grew to definite though erroneous statements of what was to take place. Definite statements became certified facts that bore fruit in detailed arrangements.
And there were many parts of the immortal essay from which the man gleaned no more sense than did the collie. It began with a promising account of a puppy named Pelleas. But midway it branched off into something else. Something Link could not make head nor tail of. Then, on second reading, bits of Maeterlinck's meaning, here and there, seeped into Ferris's bewilderedly groping intellect.
He kicked, kicked, kicked under the broiling sun, in the hot water. The sweaty smell of his hat band disgusted his nostrils. The crown of his hat seemed to coop the heat over his face, sweat seeped into his closed eyelids and stung his eyes. He gave his head a little shake. The buoy slipped out and he bobbed under the tepid water head and ears. This jerked him out of his dreamy state.
