"Can't you see the difference between us owning the land between here and the mountains, and a bunch of outsiders that'll cut it all up into little fields and try to farm it. If you can't see that, you better go hack a hole in your head with an axe, so an idea can squeeze in now and then when you ain't looking!"
And so the skill of these men was not used to give anybody the worst of it. A fair start and give everybody his chance was the idea. Thus Tommie Ohlsen could have forced the Withrow outside the starting boat and compelled her to come about and maybe lose a few minutes, but he did not. He held up and let her squeeze through.
'Do you think a man might have made his way through that hole before you broke the edges down? he asked Harry. 'Well, yes, with some crowding I think he might've. 'Yet the boy said he had to squeeze his way through. Did you notice if the opening had been enlarged recently? Were there indications of recent breakages? 'Yes, the stone had been broken in places. I s'posed the boys did that.
Yes, the landlord is a downright Malignant in his heart! We might squeeze him well, if we dared show ourselves in Lymington." "Yes, but they would squeeze our necks tighter than would be agreeable, I expect," replied the other. "Are you sure that he has money?"
Two persons cannot walk side by side here. In some parts, indeed, one can only just squeeze through; the way winds in and out in the most curious manner; there are little side passages too, that you could hardly get into at all.
I pack into my knapsack again all the knick-knacks that I had taken out, and we are off again, willy-nilly, for the city hospital. There was no more room there. In vain the sisters contrive to squeeze the iron beds together, the wards are full. Worn out by all these delays, I seize one mattress, Francis takes another, and we go and stretch ourselves in the garden on a great glass-plot.
"But we had ham yesterday and pork the day before yesterday and ham Monday," said Fleda. "There is plenty of vegetables, thanks to you and me, Hugh," she said with a little reminding squeeze of his arm. "I could make soups nicely, if I had anything to make them of!" "There's enough to be had for the catching," said Barby.
But when one is specially invited to be candid, one is naturally set upon one's guard. Those who by disposition are most open, are apt to become crafty when so admonished. When a man says to you, "Let us be candid with each other," you feel instinctively that he desires to squeeze you without giving a drop of water himself. "Yes; but about Frank," said Lady Arabella.
He has a great deal of every thing that might be thought levity." Then all the vials of my wrath exploded and went off. "Yes, I see how it is," I cried, passionately. "You and your father and your sister have got a box about a foot square that you want to squeeze me into. I have seen it ever since they came. And I can tell you it will take more than three of you to do it.
"Did you see any babies there?" inquired little Mary, who was amusing herself by walking around the room backwards. "What sort of babies live ones, or rag ones, or wax ones?" inquired Oscar. "No, none of them," replied Mary; "I mean crying babies, like Annie Davenport's." "O, you mean those little dolls that make a squeaking noise when you squeeze them.
