DEAR AUNTY: You will cry when you read this, I am sure. It is all done for, my entire collection; all killed with a dust-cloth, squashed, smashed, driven out of windows, and into holes, and all by a maid-servant. As I had no boxes for them, I naturally put my specimens into the best places I could find for them.
"When you know where a mosquito's at, what do you do to him? Plenty. I ain't looking to be squashed." "They's plenty boys begging to take me out every hour in the day. Swell lads, too. I ain't waiting round for any greasy mechanic like you. Don't think it. Say, lookit your nails! They'd queer you with me, let alone what else all is wrong with you."
Some have related that the Chaucians, who were amongst the Roman auxiliaries, knew him, and let him go; the same bravery or deceit procured Inguiomerus his escape; the rest were everywhere slain; and great numbers attempting to swim the Visurgis were destroyed in it, either pursued with darts, or swallowed by the current, or overwhelmed with the weight of the crowd, or buried under the falling banks; some seeking a base refuge on the tops of trees, and concealment amongst the branches, were shot in sport by the archers, or squashed as the trees were felled: a mighty victory this, and to us far from bloody!
Jimmie sat up a part of the night reading these stories with the result that once more the feeble sprout of patriotism was squashed flat in his soul! Jimmie went to the next meeting of the local. It was a slender affair now, for some of the members were in jail, and some in the training camps, and some afraid to come for fear of their jobs, and some discouraged by incessant persecution.
And this is the beginning thereof But what they proceeded to do My Lady never knew; for she was so frightened at the long words that she ran for her life, and locked herself into her bedroom, for fear of being squashed by the words and strangled by the sentence. A boa constrictor, she said, was bad company enough: but what was a boa constrictor made of paving stones? "It was quite shocking!
"I should ha' said the verdict," explained Robin. "I'm beside myself to-day, Mr. Lionel. Can't Mr. Verner get it squashed? He knows the crowner." "Neither Mr. Verner nor anybody else could do it, Robin. Why should you wish it done?" "Because it as good as sets forth a lie," vehemently answered Robin Frost. "She never put herself into the water.
Being no great marksmen, their shots are not often effective; but every now and then a great shout from the besieging army of bumpkins makes known the downfall of some unlucky, squab rook, which comes to the ground with the emphasis of a squashed apple-dumpling. Nor is the rookery entirely free from other troubles and disasters.
George burst out with a violent jerk; clasped his Mary in an immense hug. "Runnygate!" came thickly from his Mary, face squashed against this splendid fellow. When they unlocked my blushing Mary suddenly paled: "Oh, but you, Mr. Wyvern you found it really." "Not much," Bill declared. "Not likely. You found it. I couldn't have the reward, anyway. I'm one of the staff."
Then the muskrat gnawed open the bag, and Alice came out, her feathers all ruffled up, but she was not much hurt; only the yeast cake was all squashed out of shape, like a piece of putty. Then Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy took Alice home safely, and nothing more happened right away. Well, now, to-morrow night, let's see. Ha! Hum! Oh, how careless of me!
"What, you and I both squashed into one room!" exclaimed her ladyship, forgetful, in haughty horror, of her lodging-house background. "But it's all they have. It's that or the motor, since you won't risk " "Oh, very well, then, I suppose it can't kill me!" groaned the bride, stepping out of the car as if from tumbril to scaffold. What a way to take an adorable adventure!
