The ground was soft and squashy under foot, and Billie privately believed that the trail lay only in Ben's imagination. "Ben," she said at last. "I think maybe we had better start back. We don't seem to be getting anywhere, and this ground is like a sponge." Silently they turned their faces in the other direction, feeling all at once chilled and tired and hungry.
Leaving the creek on July 29th we again entered the scrub, finding it lower and more open, the ground covered with occasional patches of grass and a little squashy plant straggling along the ground "Pigweed" is the local name; it belongs, I believe, to the "portulacaceae."

The world answered with a breath of real spring spring that flooded the stuffy car and drove us out on the platform to snuff and sing and rejoice and pluck squashy green marsh-flags and throw them at the colts, and shout at the wild duck that rose from a jewel-green lakelet.
'A tolerably good analogy for the story of men and women generally, said Weyburn. 'Ah, well, you've a right to talk; you don't run miauling about women. It 's easy to be squashy on that subject. As for the Jews, I don't go by their history, but now they 're down I don't side with the Philistines, or Christians. They 're good citizens, and they 've got Samson in the brain, too.
Remarks were heard like: "You mustn't poke it with, your finger, Jerry darling, or you'll break the hands off"; and "I thought he'd, better have the square sort, and not the tubes.
