Before me stood a strange fellow extraordinary old and bent, with a wizen'd face, one eye only, and a chin that almost touched his nose. He wore a dirty suit of livery, that once had been canary-yellow; and shook with the palsy. "Master Tingcomb will see the young man," he squeak'd, nodding his head; "but is a-reading just now in his Bible."
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch - The Splendid Spur

And this reft house is that, the which he built, Lamented Jack! and here his malt he piled, Cautious in vain! These rats that squeak'd so wild, Squeak, not unconscious of their fathers' guilt. Did ye not see her gleaming through the glade? Belike 'twas she, the Maiden all forlorn.
Joseph Cottle - Reminiscences of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey
