Instead of a smooth bottom the dogs found a slushy bog cut to pieces. At the end of an hour of wallowing Macdonald called a halt. "There is a cutoff just below here. It will save us nearly two miles, but we'll have to break trail. Swing to the right just below the big willow," he told Elliot. "I'll join you presently and relieve you on the job.
Has it occurred to you that we have seen more of each other in these seven days than in all our lives before?" Seven days ago, while staying with his brother Sam at Westminster, he had heard of her arrival in London and had tramped through the slushy streets at once to seek her out at her address in Crown Court, Dean Street, Soho.
When he had crossed the room she set down the tray and leaned upon the table, with her cheeks burning. Then, feeling that she could not stay in the stove-heated room, she went out, and stood in the slushy snow. One of her hands was tightly closed, and all the colour had vanished from her cheeks now. She, however, contrived to give Hawtrey his supper by and bye, and soon afterwards drove away.
We had dull, raw, cloudy skies, a penetrating, unnerving, and depressing atmosphere, mud under foot, alternating with slushy snow, in short, everything that is disagreeable in winter, without its brisk and bracing qualities.
She was soon literally "up against" the ice not great towering bergs, but smaller ones fantastically shaped like floating islands, or swans, or whipped cream, for instance; very pretty to look at, but frequently only the frostings of large, slushy, and dangerous cakes that lurked beneath.
Mike didn't visit the trap the first day of the thaw, but on the afternoon of the second day he hurried out to cross the forest in the direction of his traps. Halfway there, he stopped and looked at some tracks in the soft slushy snow. "Ha! Mike in time for him. Him big bear. Him hungry an' come see camp, but smell meat in trap ha!"
A good warm supper was eaten, and then at about ten o'clock at night, when the frost had again hardened up the snow that had been so soft and slushy a few hours before, the home journey was begun, and among "the wee small hours beyond the twelve," the welcome lights in Sagasta-weekee were seen, and the happy, tired excursionists were glad to hurry off and half bury themselves in the beds and pillows filled with the downy feathers of geese killed at the spring hunts of years before.
Should you of this the sender guess Without another sign, Would you repent, and rest content To be his Valentine I grew hot and cold by turns when I thought of its possible effects on my chances. One of those useless, slushy afternoons, I took Tom for a walk that led us, as dusk came on, past Nancy's house.
No juice of the grape I had ever tasted made me half so drunk.... With the morning, of course, came the reaction, and I suffered the after sensations of an orgie, awaking to a world of necessity, cold and grey and slushy, and necessity alone made me rise from my bed. My experience of the night before might have taught me that happiness lies in the trick of transforming necessity, but it did not.
And now, instead of clear, smooth ice under his skates, he seemed to be walking through slushy water. "Don't you get scared," said the big boy kindly. "We wouldn't drown if we went right through the ice. It isn't very deep right here. Look out here we go!" Sunny Boy cried out in surprise and a girl ahead of him screamed.
