Into the Muck. "We're going to the boondocks," the boots muttered to each other in the darkness. The column snaked in a northerly direction across Rifle Range Baker toward Ribbon Creek, a murky, treacherous tidal stream that ranges from 100 ft. wide and 4 ft. deep at low tide to 250 ft. wide and 12 ft. deep at high tide. To reach the stream, McKeon had to lead his men across a 100 ft. border of deep black mud carpeted by yard-high swamp grass. He did not hesitate, although he later admitted that he had "never been...
...tide, with its strong current, was rising. McKeon stepped from the mudbank into the chill (58°) water and turned upstream, hugging the shoreline. Turning, he called out: "Everybody O.K.?" Behind him, the marching column was floundering. Again he shouted: "Everybody O.K.?" The answer came loud: "No!" Men were deep in the mud; Recruit Raymond Delgado yelled that he was up to his chest in the muck. McKeon turned to Recruit John Michael Maloof and ordered: "Go help them out."

This converts Malvolio, actually a man of simple vanity and self-love, into a deep and muddled man. While it leads to great exploration of his character, underscoring of Malvolio's role seems disconcerting because he is actually superficial and should not arouse any real sympathy. Initially Malvolio's frustrations are good fun in the bawdy pattern of the designs against him, but later his quasipathos...
...October 8, 1946. Enos "Country" Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals led off first base, while Harry "The Hat" Walker waited out a 2 and 1 count and then belted a deep single to left center. The Sox' Ted Williams fielded the ball and tossed it in to Johnny Pesky at short. Pesky, hesitant, bobbled it for a moment and then relayed a wide and in-the-dirt peg to Hal Wagner at the plate. But Slaughter had already scored from first...
