Now although this particular Wicked Witch was about as repugnant as they come, and her evil doings had brought more misery to more people than can possibly be recorded in these few pages, it was still rather sad to see her wicked legacy brought to such an abrupt close. Especially as the particular house that happened to squish her was one which belonged to a tiny little girl named Dorothy Gale.
He was so mad, he was ready to bile over; and as it was he smoked in the sun, like a tea-kettle. His clothes stuck close down to him, as a cat's fur does to her skin, when she's out in the rain, and every step he took his boots went squish, squash, like an old woman churnin' butter; and his wet trowsers chafed with a noise like a wet flappin' sail.
'I saw their starved lips in the gloom With horrid warning gaped wide, And I awoke and found me here On the cold hill's side. I asked a question: 'What will Browne like for breakfast, Drayton? 'If he's come back to his civilized tastes, you'd better open that tin of sausages, he said. 'You've got some squish, too, haven't you? Don't give him that bush-tea of yours!

My men and I flounder about; thrice one of them, load and all, goes down with a squidge and a crash into the side grass, and says "damn!" with quite the European accent; as a rule, however, we go on in single file, my shoes giving out a mellifluous squidge, and their naked feet a squish, squash.
This seemed like a fine idea to Elephant, who promptly flopped down on the grass almost squashing Nibbles, who was already snoozing under him. The Forest Monster also took a position of repose, but far enough away from his smaller charges that he knew he would not roll over and squish any of them. In the twinkling of an eye, he was fast asleep.
When it didn't crack, he slammed it harder, but then realizing that if it did break suddenly, it would squish onto the floor, he put the egg on the counter and tapped it with his hammer. The shell split and a clear liquid poured out on to the drain board, thin and clear, not glutenous like a normal egg white.
M-m but look at the juice squish through her scuppers!" He held it up for all of us to have a look. "Now another little wash of coffee in the wake of that and I'll be all right for a fine little watch aloft." That night was the worst I ever put in towing astern of a vessel. "Owling" is the seiners' word for that kind of work.
His ears were tuned to the finest pin-pricks of sound, so that he heard the faint, sighing "squish" of a sodden shoe upon which a weight had shifted. Still something chained him to his seat. It was as though his soul laid a restraining hand upon his body, waiting for the instant. He let his hand seek his hip carelessly, but remembered where his gun was.
He liked to feel the mud squish up between his toes. "Look at me, Abe," he shouted. "Ain't we having fun?" Abe took his young stepbrother by the hand. His eyes were twinkling. "I've thought of something else that's fun. Come on, we're going to play a joke on Mamma." When Sarah returned to the cabin late that afternoon, she noticed that Abe's hair was still damp.
