Nichel Schmidt had known me for a long time; his wife was fat and good-looking; I had painted her portrait. "Ah, Master Christian," said he, squeezing my hand, "what happy circumstance brings you here? What procures me the pleasure of seeing you?" "My dear Monsieur Schmidt, I feel a vehement, insatiable desire to sleep in the Green Room."
"God bless you, Corny, my dear boy," Herman Mordaunt answered, squeezing my hand with fervour. "God bless you, and enable you to protect her. I was about to ask you to change seats with me; but, on the whole, I think my child will be safer with you than she could be with me. We will await God's pleasure as accident has placed us." "I will desert her only with life, Mr. Mordaunt.
She might have it no doubt if she dusted all the wretched place again, but she was not going to do that at least, without seeing first what lay behind the clock! Off she darted, and putting her hand behind the clock found the latch of a door. It lifted, and the door opened a little way. By squeezing hard, she managed to get behind the clock, and so through the door.
And then, Tribolo having given him a larger piece of marble, Piero made from it two children who are embracing each other and squeezing fishes, causing water to spout from their mouths.
"For instance, my lord," said he, addressing himself to Lord Mowbray, "the famous picture of the flaying the unjust magistrate I never could look at steadily."

"Oh, you're soaking," she said in dismay. "The idea of me letting you sit about in that state!" "That sleeve is the worst," said the skipper, whom circumstances had made artful. "It's all right here." He brushed his hand down his coat. "That's a good thing," said Annis politely. "Um, but not here," said the skipper, squeezing the lapel of his coat. Annis touched his coat lightly.

Another man had seized the young prince at the same moment. That potentate who in his own land possessed the power of life and death turned round with dignity, and in doing so afforded an unlooked for opportunity to the sailor, who pushed him gently till he tripped against the cask and went in backwards, squeezing the old councillor almost flat.
He even set up a carriage in the fullness of his vain-glory, though he nearly starved the horses which drew it; and as the ungreased wheels groaned and screeched on the axle trees, you would have thought you heard the souls of the poor debtors he was squeezing. As Tom waxed old, however, he grew thoughtful.
"Sorry?" repeated the captain, sharply. "What for?" "Because he hasn't got a nice, kind, soft-spoken father," said Miss Nugent, squeezing his arm affectionately.
