The man paused for a second, slopping water on his boots and gazing about excitedly. "Hey, boys!" he shouted. "Get an axe and chop open the back! The long gent is roastin' to death in there!" "And I reckon that'll keep 'em busy while Sun fans it," soliloquized Shoop. "Hello, Jack!" And he beckoned to Corliss. "He ain't in there," he whispered, "But how he got out, gets me!"
The mountain-tops were black with thunderclouds, and along the muddy road went Morgan's Men most of them on mules which had been taken from abandoned wagons when news of the surrender came without saddles and with blind bridles or rope halters the rest slopping along through the yellow mud on foot literally for few of them had shoes; they were on their way to protect Davis and join Johnston, now that Lee was no more.
She had been leaping so gallantly only five minutes before. Now she lay with her heart broken, while the seas beat her with great thumps. Two battle-lanterns lit the after 'tweendecks. There was a great heap of staved in casks, slopping about in an inch or two of water, all along that side, thrown there by the smash. I could hear the men yelling on deck. Captain Barlow was swearing in loud shouts.

But, returning resolutely to the petit verre, I am willing to concede that all after fourscore is the bain de pieds, the slopping over, so to speak, of the full measure of life.
I don't see how such a beauty could escape until she was twenty-six. But girls want their fling these days, same as the men!" "Toast! Toast the bride!" came voices from all sides, while the waiters hurried here and there slopping the wine into empty glasses.
The waves were no longer the little choppy seas that the Lass had encountered since leaving Freekirk Head, but hustling, slopping hills that attacked him in endless and rapid succession. His progress was a continuous climb to one summit, followed by a dizzying swoop into the following depth.
Scarcely were the words uttered than the gentleman was over the hedge and as quickly back again, slopping water right and left from his modish, curly-brimmed hat in his frantic haste; this he set down at Diana's command and, turning away, began to stride up and down, muttering agitated anathemas upon himself and scowling ferociously at the two horses, which I had taken the opportunity to hitch to an adjacent gatepost.
