With a supreme effort I got to it. We rallied. I was playing like a professor. Then whizz ! The Slosh had beaten me on the post. "Game and ," said Mr. Chase, tossing his racquet into the air and catching it by the handle. "Good game that last one." I turned to see what Phyllis thought of it. At the eleventh hour I had shown her of what stuff I was made. She had disappeared.
Don't slosh it all on at once! A little at a time's better. Get some on his head." So with much incoherence and with everybody giving orders and each acting independently, they bore him tenderly into the shade of a rock and worked over him feverishly, their faces paler than his. When he opened his eyes and stared at them dully, they could have shouted for very relief.
Things irritated him acutely, which before he had accepted as inevitable his Uncle Donald's moustache, for instance, and its owner's habit of employing it during meals as a sort of zareba or earthwork against the assaults of soup. "By gad!" thought Ginger, stopping suddenly opposite Devonshire House. "If he uses that damned shrubbery as soup-strainer to-night, I'll slosh him with a fork!"
He avoided Furnace Lake, keeping well around the Southern rim of it and making straight for Loco Canyon and the spring there while his water cans still had a pleasant slosh.

Just as he had come up, Mose had opened the kitchen door and thrown out a cream can, which had fallen in front of Ford and trickled a white stream upon the frozen ground. Ford had stooped and picked up the can, had shaken it, and heard the slosh which told of waste.
"We could have had a four." "But she is at present wasting her sweetness on the desert air of Yeovil. You had better sit down and watch us, Phyllis. Tennis in this sort of weather is no job for the delicately-nurtured feminine. I will explain the finer points of my play as we go on. Look out particularly for the Tilden Back-Handed Slosh. A winner every time." We proceeded to the tennis court.
"A clever woman can always slosh round in sentimental slop with her head above it and cool. If I were a girl I'd make a dead set for that chap." "If you were a girl," said Gladys, "you'd do nothing of the sort. You'd compel him to make a dead set for you."
