The sunshine made the rich green mosses look dry, but in reality they were wet, and so was everything else. Slish! slosh! Put your feet where you would, the water was everywhere.
Hadn't his mother told him, particularly, not to get his feet wet? "Come on in, it's fine!" they all shouted at Jehosophat. "Aw, come on!" Sammy Soapstone repeated, and Fatty called: "'Fraidcat!" At that Jehosophat turned around. He just couldn't stand being called "'fraidcat." So slosh, slosh, into the biggest brown puddle he could find he went. Slosh, slop, slop, slosh!
He tilted the nearest one and felt liquid slosh near the halfway mark, then rolled it out the door. Barney heaved it into the truck bed, stood it on end against the cab and drove the pickup back to the ranch house door as Hetty came out wearing clean jeans and a bright, flowered blouse. Her gray hair was tucked in a neat bun beneath a blocked Stetson hat.
The sun shone brightly on snow-covered hills in the neighborhood of Boston, and burnished the surface of frozen ponds; and the wintry weather kept along with us while we trundled through Worcester and Springfield, and all those old, familiar towns, and through the village-cities of Connecticut. In New York the streets were afloat with liquid mud and slosh.
I am so bad why did I ever come to sea?" Slosh whish bang! A wave had struck the ship, and we could hear the water flying over us, as, after a tremendous effort to keep on my legs, I came down, sitting on my sea-chest; and then, instead of springing up again, I sat rolling from side to side, laughing silently and trying hard to master the intense desire to break forth into a tremendous roar.
If I could keep this up, I might win yet. The Tilden Slosh diminished my lead by fifteen. Then I got in a really fine serve, which beat him. 'Vantage In. Another Slosh. Deuce. Another Slam.

As he came out of his room he heard the slosh of water, a sharp exclamation, and a resounding smack as his sister visited her irritation upon one of her numerous progeny.
"Well," said Si, removing a slab of sizzling fat pork from the end of his rammer, laying it on his hardtack, and taking a generous bite, "we mustn't allow them to take no wagons away from the 200th Ind., slosh around as they may. We want all that grub ourselves." "Well, hump yourselves," said the Orderly-Sergeant, as he spattered on; "fall in promptly when assembly blows.
"You can use them molasses in the blue barrel," instructed Isom. "It's about gone," said she. "Well, put some water in the barrel and slosh it around it'll come out sweet enough for a mess or two." Isom got up from the table as he gave these economic directions, and stood a moment looking down at his wife. "Don't you worry over feedin' that feller, Ollie," he advised. "I'll manage that.
Every day, I trudge through snow and slosh to the village, look into the post-office, and spend an hour at the reading-room; and then return home, generally without having spoken a word to a human being. . . .
