"Good heavens, man! it would take you a year at the least, if you weren't swallowed by a tiger or strangled by a Thug on the way. You'll have to go by water, as you came." The Babu's face fell. "That is the fly in the ointment, your Honor. But I will chew majum and bestow myself in the cabin; thus perhaps I may avoid squeamishness.
A weak or vicious Sultan may be deposed and strangled, but his inheritance devolves to an infant or an idiot; nor has the most daring rebel presumed to ascend the throne of his lawful sovereign.
Devote yourself to him, day and night. Cure him. Set him up. You love him. Love can do it, if anything can." "I can't do it," groaned Marion. "Mother tried, but it was no good." "Then do as she did, try and fail." "I can't. He would break my heart." "Let him break it." Marion strangled the terrible, urgent voice with fury, and then cried as if her heart would indeed break.
Women are still more worried about their husbands and their children. And I suppose if we strangled the children and poleaxed the husbands it would leave women free for higher culture. That is, it would leave them free to begin to worry about that. For women would worry about higher culture as much as they worry about everything else. One odd thing I specially notice.
But though Nundcomar was put out of the way by the means by which he was removed, a part of the charge was not strangled with him. Whilst the process against Nundcomar was carrying on before Sir Elijah Impey, the process was continuing against Mr.
But, surely, had Leotard heard and rightly understood all that was going on above him, he must have sent up one feeble, strangled cry, one faint appeal to be rescued from unfamiliar little Annies and retained for an audience certain to appreciate and never unduly critical. "Now I've got to the Noah's Ark," panted Harold, still groping blindly.
The two most prominent and peculiar devices namely, that of placing at the head of the state a sort of mock sovereign, destitute of any effective power, and capable at any time of being degraded by the vote of a single legislative body, under the title of GRAND ELECTOR; and secondly, that of committing the real executive power to two separate consuls, one for war and one for peace, nominally the inferiors of the Elector, but in influence necessarily quite above him, and almost as necessarily the rivals and enemies of each other; these ingenious twins were strangled in the birth by Napoleon's shrewd practical sense.
He had meant to break it to her gently, but now he blurted it out. "They want me to go to Italy with Mother for two months." Fleur drooped her eyelids; turned a little pale, and bit her lips. "Oh!" she said. It was all, but it was much. That "Oh!" was like the quick drawback of the wrist in fencing ready for riposte. It came. "You must go!" "Go?" said Jon in a strangled voice. "Of course."
With a gasp of terror Faynie sprang from the couch with a single bound; but the cry she would have uttered was strangled upon her lips by the heavy hand that fell suddenly over them, pressing so tightly against them as to almost take her breath away.
For the health of the children, they went into the court-yard of the prison before dinner for exercise and the fresh air. A soldier, stationed there to guard them, came up deliberately to the queen, and amused his companions by puffing tobacco smoke from his pipe into her face. The parents read upon the walls the names of their children, described as "whelps who ought to be strangled."
