This causeway was to all appearance safe, compared with many which we had passed, and I was just going to step upon it, when my dog ran before me, jumped on the fatal pass his feet slipped from under him he fell, and disappeared over the precipice! I started back I heard a heavy squelch and a howl; another fainter succeeded, and all was still.
I s'pose we may do something else here though it is your father's place?" "Don't be so disagreeable," I cried. "Who's disagreeable?" he retorted. "I didn't make the stones stick and old Bigley come down squelch on us, did I?" "Oh, if you want to quarrel, Bob, we may as well go home," I said. "There, just hark at him, Big! Quarrel! Just as if I wanted to quarrel. There, I shall go."
My fable, credible enough at first, and so long as my clothes were in good order, must have seemed worse than doubtful after my coat became frayed about the edges, and my boots began to squelch and pipe along the restaurant floors. The allowance of one meal a day, besides, though suitable enough to the state of my finances, agreed poorly with my stomach.
It was a shock to the adorers of Sarah Bernhardt to hear her so irreverently criticised. They loyally united in her defence, and sought to squelch the revolter by loftily explaining that the actress turned her back so often to the audience because she had such a noble, generous nature and desired to give the other actors a chance.
There was a squelch of water under his feet, and the rusty marsh sedge, still green and juicy, drooped down to the earth as though afraid of being trampled underfoot.

This was a blow to the false apostles. With the living fact that Titus was not compelled to be circumcised Paul was able to squelch his adversaries.
Corporal, take this man below. In irons, sir, in irons." "But your honour would have gone through the hole squelch on to the lower deck," growled Jack Brown in an injured tone. "Silence, sir," roared the lieutenant. "Corporal, do your duty." "All right, corpy, I'm coming," said the boatswain, as the marine laid his hand upon his arm.
Even then, broken as he was he looked ten years older than when he entered the room he could hardly believe what he had just heard. "You mean," he faltered, "Cyrus, do you mean that that you're not going to reveal this this " "That I'm not goin' to tell on you? Yup; that's what I mean. You get rid of Thomas and squelch that law case, and I'll keep mum. You can trust me for that."
It was nasty, sloppy walking at the best, however, for every step one took one went in with a squelch right up to the ankle, and I think we had all had pretty well enough by the time we reached the boat. Poor Joyce, indeed, was so exhausted that she had to sit down on the lunch basket, while Tommy and I, by means of wading out into the channel, managed to get hold of the dinghy.
He didn't care for her engagements, her campaigns, or all the expectancy of her friends; to "squelch" all that, at a stroke, was the dearest wish of his heart.
