soaked

A LAMP, soaked with too much oil and flaring brightly, boasted that it gave more light than the sun.

A FARMER, who bore a grudge against a Fox for robbing his poultry yard, caught him at last, and being determined to take an ample revenge, tied some rope well soaked in oil to his tail, and set it on fire.

Ali had, indeed, given proof of this; for, approaching the animals, who had been got upon their legs with considerable difficulty, he rubbed their foreheads and nostrils with a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, and wiped off the sweat and foam that covered their mouths.

In a desperate attempt to mitigate the foul odors, officials soaked the heavy window curtains in chloride of lime.
