Meecher

She went straight into high-sterics, and no wonder; any Christian would, and a Christian Emmeline is, though a meecher from her cradle and will be to her casket.

"Why," he asked, "have we produced a group of meechers and propagandists, who are Catholics, however nominal, before they are people, and whose principal concern seems to be not to write truly but to win ecclesiastical approbation?"

Uriah Heep is a meecher.

But it did and does seem better to shout a few obvious facts (they can never be 'obvious' enough) than to meech. The meechers will say, Yes, but do you realize all (or any) of the obstacles, presuming you are (in general) a little more right than merely raving?

As the Major entered I observed upon his person a kind of uprightness that no sober man ever had, varied with quick little steps sideways, for no good visible reason, and when he comes up to the counter he grabs it with both hands and says, ' How do—gla' meecher—hot, ain't it?

Very pleased ter meecher, Steve.

Pleased to meecher, I don't think.
