During the day this smoke dispersed very generally over town, causing some coughing and sneezing, and not a little swearing and scoffing. Sulphur, mainly, the doctor and Druggist Gray pronounced the chemical to be.
"Stop sneezing, goat," says the old man; and the goat stopped sneezing, and stood there panting and out of breath in the middle of the sea of gold pieces. The children began kicking the gold pieces about, spreading them by walking through them as if they were dead leaves.
Johnnie Green couldn't help sneezing. And opening his eyes, whom should he see but Daddy Longlegs, standing on the tip of his nose. "My goodness!" Daddy exclaimed when Johnnie Green sneezed. "I didn't think the wind was going to blow to-day. But there's an awful blast! I'd better hurry home at once."
These repeated salvos were received with shouts of laughter and "God bless you," often repeated; but a sharp tingling in the throat and eyes was soon added to the sneezing. "I say," cried my friend, "what does this joke mean?" I looked round me more carefully, and discovered that we were surrounded with euphorbia plants.
'Come to the house, till I put some dry clothes on you, and I'll make some lasses candy for you with my own hands! But as soon as I touched land, I streaked off for home, as hard as I could lay legs to the ground; but the perfume of old Rose set me a sneezing so, I fairly blew up the dust in the road as I went, as if a bull had been pawin of it, and left a great wet streak behind me as if a watering-pot had passed that way.
A deep breath is drawn, the opening of the windpipe is closed, and immediately is burst open with a violent effort which sends a blast of air through the upper air passages. The object is to dislodge and expel any mucus or foreign matter that is irritating the air passages. Sneezing is like coughing; the tongue is raised against the soft palate, so the air is forced through the nasal passages.
And so the occasional sneezing of the resting mules, and the champing of the bits, grate harshly on the grim stillness, not dissipating the spell but accenting it and making one feel more lonesome and forsaken than before.
Shirril led the way down the ladder, followed by her servant, and they quickly found themselves on the lower floor. Enough smoke remained in the room to cause Dinah another fit of sneezing, but the shattered window and the opening of the door at the head of the primitive stairs gave such good vent that a rapid improvement took place.
The two things which Archie would have liked most to do at that moment were first to kill Miss Silverton if possible, painfully and then to spend the remainder of his life sneezing. After a prolonged period he heard a drawer open, and noted the fact as promising. As the old married man, he presumed that it signified the putting away of hair-pins.
At the base, there is quietly lying an aged gutta percha pipe, the object of which we could not make out; and in the pulpit there is another gutta percha pipe, with an elongated, funnel-shaped top, put up, probably, for some very useful purpose for whispering, or speaking, or sneezing, or coughing which alone concerns the preacher, and need not be further inquired into by us.
