"There, sir, you'd like to have a look at that thing," said he, putting the poor bird, whose windpipe he had pressed so tightly that it had little power to struggle, into my hands. The little fellow wanted to show his gratitude to me, so I thanked him, and examined the bird.
"Frankly, like the chief guest at a lynching party," he said. "Curious but none too cheerful." Nor was I. I was filled with a fever of scientific curiosity. But I was not cheerful no! We ministered to Ventnor as well as we could; forcing open his set jaws, thrusting a thin rubber tube down past his windpipe into his gullet and dropping through it a few ounces of the goat milk.
I presume it's because I take so much time washing my hands." She smiled in spite of herself as the doctor's hearty laugh filled the little kitchen. "I think I can appreciate your feelings," he remarked. He walked over to the table. "Get a good hold on the offending windpipe, shut your eyes and pull." "I'm afraid of doing something wrong." "You won't.
On the other hand, if he told them the truth, they would get away. "Answer!" commanded the man, catching Jerry by the throat and shaking him till the back of Jerry's eyeballs seemed to be red, searing flames. A sudden rage came over him, numbed as he was by the pressure on his windpipe. With a mighty wrench he freed himself.
The substance of the lungs consists of bronchial tubes, air-cells, blood-vessels, nerves, and cellular membrane. The bronchial tubes are merely continuations and subdivisions of the windpipe, and serve to convey the external air to the air-cells of the lungs. The air-cells constitute the chief part of the lungs, and are the termination of the smaller branches of the bronchial tubes.
He arose, however, and attacked the other, but, thanks to a good arm and a quick eye, he prostrated him again, and again, and again; he then caught him by the throat, for he was already subdued, and squeezing his windpipe to some purpose, the fellow said, in a choking voice, "Are you going to kill me?"
Before he could shake one of them free to reach the revolver in his chaps, he was lying on his back, with Flatray astride of him. The cattleman's left hand closed tightly upon his windpipe, while the right searched for and found the weapon in the holster of the prostrate man. Not until the steel rim of it pressed against the teeth of the man beneath him did Jack's fingers loosen.
"At all events, we'll have another song from him, Moggy, before they spoil his windpipe, which, I must say, would be a great pity; but Moggy, there have been better men hung than your husband." "Better men than my Jemmy, Mrs Corbett! There never was one like him afore or since;" replied Moggy, with indignation. "I only meant of longer pedigree, Moggy," replied Nancy soothingly.
"Mebbe 'e thought I'd got a Swiss clock with a sham cuckoo workin' it in my basket! 'I'm glad, sez 'e, 'you told me 'twas a real cuckoo! Hor er hor er hor er!" The odd chuckling sounds of merriment which were slowly jerked forth as it were from Peke's husky windpipe, were droll enough in themselves to be somewhat infectious, and Helmsley laughed as he had not done for many days.
As long as your larynx and windpipe are inflamed or tickled by disease-germs or other poisons, your body will do its best to get rid of them by coughing, or, if they swarm on the mucous membrane of the nose, by sneezing. To attempt to stop either coughing or sneezing without removing the cause is as irrational as putting out a switch-light without closing the switch.
