It was very silly of Jack to think of pushing himself into this row, but instead of thanking his stars that he had not been seen, he was furious with me when I told him to keep away from the Subby; and a lot of other men in St. Cuthbert's who would have been glad to help in squashing Dennison, were angry because they had never been told of our plans.
The roof broke under his greater weight, and he fell through on his master, squashing him flatter than a pan-cake. Thenceforward, having no one to say him nay, he lived a life of peace and plenty, coming and going at his own sweet will, while the monkey was captured by an organ grinder and works eighteen hours a day. IMMORAL: People are not always such asses as they seem to us.
Wet through and through: with her feet squelching and squashing in her shoes whenever she moved; with a rash of rain upon her classical visage; with a bonnet like an over-ripe fig; with all her clothes spoiled; with damp impressions of every button, string, and hook-and-eye she wore, printed off upon her highly connected back; with a stagnant verdure on her general exterior, such as accumulates on an old park fence in a mouldy lane; Mrs.

And just as we turned back to return to the town I saw a child's stuffed cloth doll rag dolls I think they call them in the States lying flat in the road; and a wagon wheel or a camion wheel had passed over the head, squashing it flat. I am not striving for effect when I tell of this trifle. When you write of such things as a battlefield you do not need to strive for effect.
We lay there quiet as mice, though it was awfully uncomfortable; I was squashing Joyce to bits, and great thorns seemed running into me all over. Then a dreadful thought occurred to me there were probably snakes there! Which was worst, snakes or the buffalo? And I asked cautiously

For an instant, in the stupefaction of my terror, I did not recognise the first thing I touched her necklace I saw it again on her living body. The box! The corpse gave it to me with a squashing sound. Something grazed me faintly. "I had meant to tell you only a few things, Anna.

"I was not," shouted Stephen; "he was squashing me with his foot, and I moved it away." "Really, Bramble," said Mr Rastle, "you are either very unfortunate or very badly behaved. Come and stand on this empty form beside my desk.
"I was faint and I think I am better out o' doors," she said mechanically; and disappeared outside. Fortunately for her the milk in the revolving churn at that moment changed its squashing for a decided flick-flack. "'Tis coming!" cried Mrs Crick, and the attention of all was called off from Tess.
