Thoroughly frightened, but rallying to his young commander's voice, Jesse obeyed, and bailed rapidly as he could, the sloshing water now leaving him for the bow, and now flooding him to the knees as it swept back to the stern when the bow arose. The dory yawed and veered unsteadily.
Phoebe was sloshing around upon the flooded floor of her milk-house, with her skirts tucked up and her indignation growing greater as she gave it utterance, rescuing her pans of milk and her jars of cream. Evadna, upon the top step, sat with her feet tucked up under her as if she feared an instant inundation.
Holding the cat-boat on for a time, he brought her about handsomely a little way beyond the brigantine's course, and hung in the eye of the wind, the leach flapping and tightening with reports like rifle-shots, and the water sloshing about his calves bailing-dish now altogether out of mind while he watched the oncoming vessel, his eyes glistening with anticipation.
Andy looked exactly as if someone had caught him at something exceedingly foolish. He tried to sugar his coffee calmly, and so sent it sloshing all over the saucer. "Do you live near here?" she asked next, beaming upon him in the orthodox, motherly fashion. "Yes, ma'am, not very near," he was betrayed into saying and she might make what she could of it.
"Always," she confessed frankly. "Somehow I can never be afraid with you. But but what shall we do now?" "I hardly know what to put you at oh, yes, here is a tin, and you can bail out this water sloshing about in the bottom. That will be valuable service." "What will you do?" "Rig up the sail the best I can in the dark; there is breeze enough to give us some headway, and ship the rudder."
I'm glad I'm on top and not sloshing around in the Gulf right now. Bet that fellow in the boat is wet all right." "Hark, Tom!" cautioned Harry. "You mustn't talk like that." "I'm going back to finish my cooking," announced Arnold. "We'll all be hungry enough to eat a raw dog.
"Like a woman," Harrietta thought, "who wears a red satin gown all the time. You'd wish she'd put on gingham just once, for a change." She told herself that she was parched for a walk up Riverside Drive in a misty summer rain, the water sloshing in her shoes. "Happy, my ducky?" Irish Mary would say, beaming upon her. "Perfectly," from Harrietta. "It's time, too.
"Yes, and here comes another!" cried his sister, and, sure enough, another wave came sizzling and sloshing up out of the pond. And then another, and another, and another, until there were a dozen, or, maybe a dozen and a half of waves, one after the other. "Oh, this is grand!" cried Buddy. "It's almost as good as Asbury Park!" and, really it was, I'm not fooling a bit.
Up!" panted the engineer. Even as he spoke the waters beneath them began to boil and bubble strangely, as though with the rising of a monstrous fish; and all at once, with a heave, a sloshing splatter, a huge, weed-covered, winglike object, sluicing brine, wallowed sharply out into the torchlight.
I walked along with the water sloshing in my boots, and I was actually cheerful. I remember whispering to Mr. Jamieson that I had never seen the stars so lovely, and that it was a mistake, when the Lord had made the night so beautiful, to sleep through it! The doctor was puffing somewhat when we finally came to a halt. I confess that just at that minute even Sunnyside seemed a cheerful spot.
