I was terribly alarmed, and first loosening his neckerchief, for he seemed choking, I said: 'Let me call some one; and I turned to reach the bell, when he instantly seized my arms, and held me with a grip of iron.

Choking and spluttering, Aunt Maria tried to scream, but could only gasp for breath, and to Tabitha's frightened eyes her face took on a dying look.
