I seized it and pressed it close to my lips, thereby squashing it considerably. "Dear me," said the signorina, "I wonder if I had given you the other thing whether you would have treated it so roughly." "I'll show you in a moment," said I. "Thank you, no, not just now," she said, showing no alarm, for she knew she was safe with me.
"There are many things for the young to learn in Africa," remarked Professor Wiseman coldly and gazing at Billy with squashing intentness; "the young do not believe many things merely because they are young and foolish." "Gee! that was a nailer for fair," said Billy afterward. "I felt as if the Doc was running a big blue pin through me and sticking me on a bit of cork,"
The Big Business Man continued stamping violently upon the rug; joined now by the Very Young Man. The Doctor sat on the floor beside it, breathing heavily; the Banker lay in a heap at its foot in utter collapse. As they stamped, the rug continued to flatten down; it sank under their tread with a horrible, sickening, squashing sound. "Let's look," suggested the Very Young Man.
The emphatic horse, cut short by the whip in a most decided negative, made a decided scramble for it, and the three other horses followed suit. Once more, the Dover mail struggled on, with the jack-boots of its passengers squashing along by its side. They had stopped when the coach stopped, and they kept close company with it.
At six Berta started for the dining-room, leaving Robbie hovering at Bea's open door with a supply of hot water, rough towels, dry stockings, and spirits of camphor. In the leaden twilight of the lower corridor a draggled figure passed with a sodden drip of heavy skirts and the dull squashing of water in soaked shoes.
Among this débris children were playing unchecked, smearing their faces with rice cakes, and squashing the flies on the window pane. Were any of these her relatives? Asako shuddered. How much did she actually know about these far-away cousins? She could just remember her father.
I confess that this is how my inflamed eye sees all our modern machines monsters running on their own, dragging us along, and very often squashing us. We are, I believe, awakening to the dangers of this "Gadarening," this rushing down the high cliff into the sea, possessed and pursued by the devils of machinery.
I do love America, the land of liberty. In the boat we sat next Frau Doktor M., she was awfully nice; Hella was on the right and I was on the left, and we sat so close that she said: "Girls, you're squashing me, or at least you're crushing my dress!" She was wearing a white frock and had a coral necklace which suited her simply splendidly.
Why, if I thought May Scully and a set-up in business was the thing for you, Jimmie, I'd say to her, I'd say, if it was like taking my own heart out in my hand and squashing it, I'd say to her, I'd say, 'Take him, May. That's how I I love you, Jimmie. Oh, ain't it nothing, honey, a girl can come here and lay herself this low to you " "Well, haven't I just said you you deserve better."
I've upset the boy's cage of white mice and they're skedaddling about my legs. Here! hold the lamp, will you I'm squashing a couple of 'em under each of my hands." Carraway, leaning out with the lamp, which drew a brilliant circle on the porch, saw Fletcher floundering helplessly upon his hands and knees in the midst of the fleeing family of mice.
