John had a quiet way of squelching such patronage and of turning the laugh, which was annoying to a person lacking a sense of humor.
And in the midst of it all, Jack, peering out from his hiding-place a few feet from the path, saw the wretched Spanish soldiery go splashing and squelching past, too wet, and altogether too utterly tired and miserable apparently, to take any notice of where they were going, and seemingly anxious only to press forward in the hope of somewhere finding shelter.
The only consolation I could suggest was that by this time Lord's would be more humid still. "And so there's something to be said for being bored to tears under shelter, Miss Belsize." Miss Belsize did not deny that she was bored. "But there's plenty of shelter there," said she. "Packed with draggled dresses and squelching shoes!

"Ha!" he said, surprised; "what station is this?"
They entered the houses, penetrated to the bedrooms, mounted the beds, slipped into the kneading-troughs, and even got into the ovens, although one would expect frogs to give such hot places a very wide berth.
