If you don't do something right quick, they won't let you sleep in the house for a month." "Well. Now tell me quick!" "Pull off your coat before it soaks through." "I didn't think of that," said Joe, obeying with alacrity, and shivering in the cold air.
The water which is found in this basin, held by capillary attraction in the permeable strata through which it soaks till the hard impermeable stratum is met retained, in short, in a natural reservoir is excellent in quality, limpid and sparkling.
It is a curious fact that, although wool soaks remarkably easily with carbon disulphide, and at once becomes wet, cold water expels and replaces almost all that liquid. This operation takes about twenty minutes, and at one operation about 11/2 cwt. of raw wool may be treated.
"This Catholicism is a curious thing," said the man of the cloven chin in uninterrupted reflectiveness, leaning his elegant elbows over the edge of the vessel; "it soaks and weakens men without their knowing it, just as I fear it has soaked and weakened you." Turnbull stood in an attitude which might well have meant pitching the other man out of the flying ship.
Like a sponge, he soaks up all the whiskey in jail." The young man turns upon him a look more of pity than scorn, while the jailer shakes his head admonishingly. The vote-cribber continues insensible to the admonition. He, be it known, is a character of no small importance in the political world.

"I reck'n the Cup is kind o' company to him," said Jim Mason.
See how you like it." "What's the big idea?" "Swell reception at the Maison de Glue, with the waiters on roller skates in honour of rich Uncle Rollo Glue. The head waiter starts the fight by doing a fall with his tray. Tom gets the tray in the neck and soaks the nearest man banquet goes flooey. Then we go into the chase stuff." "Which is Uncle Rollo?"
The hyphæ grow and branch between the green cells of the true cortex, as well as in the vast tissues beneath, and even make their way into the medullary rays and resin canals in the wood, though not very deep. Short branches of the hyphæ pierce the cells, and consume their starch and other contents, causing a large outflow of resin, which soaks into the wood or exudes from the bark.
He set no specially good example, was not particularly studious, was quite as mischievous if not more so than his schoolmates, and on top of all this sad to relate after such a record was practically always at the head of his class.
