"I fell down on the hill," explained Roy, "but if you don't want it, don't bother. It's just a little squashed. I'll eat it all right." Norman began to straighten out the crumpled pieces with his finger, when his chum added, with some exultation: "And these." Then, from within his unbuttoned shirt, he began to unload a dozen large sugar-coated doughnuts.
It reached my chin, it touched my lips, and I stood still and bore it all, while it enveloped my face with its huge, slimy, evil-smelling body, and embraced me with its myriad legs. The horror of it made me mad. I shook myself like one stricken by the shaking ague. I shook the creature off. It squashed upon the floor. Shrieking like some lost spirit, turning, I dashed towards the window.
These extremes, however, are not often resorted to, for the natives are usually content with simpler means, such as flaying a goat, instead of a child, to be walked over; while, to prevent any evil approaching their dwellings a squashed frog, or any other such absurdity, when place on the track, is considered a specific.
We had to undergo the same ordeal as before in the way of being smoked and searched. This time there were no runaways discovered, but there was one on board for all that, who made his appearance, almost squashed to death, after we had been twenty-four hours at sea.
There," he wrote the cable hurriedly and read it aloud, "'Shall not deliver anything. Only too glad to cancel contract. He'll he the most surprised and disgusted man in America!" "Need you put it quite like that?" said Doria. "It's the only way to make him understand. He has been buzzing round me like a wasp for the past month. Now he's squashed.
It would be a pity to spoil it. P'raps I won't run it up at all." Harold came round the corner like a bison pursued by Indians. "I've polished up the cannons," he cried, "and they look grand! Mayn't I load 'em now?" "Don't touch the gunpowder till you're told, or you'll get your head smacked." Harold fell behind, limp, squashed, obedient. "She wants me to write to her," he began, presently.
Later on I was given to understand that before a subsequent court-martial two British officers spent the night on a sort of mattress in a corner of the guardroom. The return journey was accomplished without incident, except for an attempt on our part to speak to a captured guardsman, who was loading trucks, which was promptly squashed by Wolfe snapping out "Das geht nicht."
They did that just to show you what they could do, and to get you interested. Then Harris packed the strawberry jam on top of a tomato and squashed it, and they had to pick out the tomato with a teaspoon. And then it was George's turn, and he trod on the butter. I didn't say anything, but I came over and sat on the edge of the table and watched them.
"Did you see how those two cyclists tried to hang on to us and push in too? Miss Walters looked at them most witheringly. 'May I ask if you have a private permit? I heard her say to them. It squashed them flat, and they beat a retreat." "I believe Sir Ranald used to let the public in at one time," said Noreen, "but people behaved so atrociously that he had to stop.
Another woman, if possible even uglier than the last, approached him with a similar request. "Let me have a spell at once," she said, "that will make every member of the Government be run over by taxis and killed. They are monsters, tyrants I abominate them. Let them be slowly very slowly SQUASHED to death!"
