And there being no other vent or breathing-place than that through which the Caecias rushed in upon them, it quickly blinded their eyes, and filled their lungs, and all but choked them, whilst they strove to draw in the rough air mingled with dust and powdered earth.
All that neutral ground of character, which stood between vice and virtue; or which in fact was indifferent to neither, where neither properly was called in question; that happy breathing-place from the burthen of a perpetual moral questioning the sanctuary and quiet Alsatia of hunted casuistry is broken up and disfranchised, as injurious to the interests of society.
In the centre of the city, bordering upon Main street, is the Old Common, the original park of Worcester, now a small breathing-place of the working class, where band concerts are frequently given in summer.
The canal is formed on the south by a pier or causeway with a parapet. At the far end the parapet stops, and the quay expands into an oblong peninsula in the lagoon, the breathing-place and summer parlour of the king. The midst is occupied by an open house or permanent marquee called here a maniapa, or, as the word is now pronounced, a maniap' at the lowest estimation forty feet by sixty.

The humblest, or at least the next to the humblest, London house has some leafy breathing-place behind it where the birds may nest and sing, and our lodging in the street which was almost Belgravian was not without its tree and its feathered inmates. This was a high moment of triumph for the landlord's whole family.
Now, when we had reached this comparatively safe breathing-place safe, at all events, for the moment I changed my mind about leaving or attempting to leave the country.
The feverish struggles of early youth had landed him in a position somewhat better than that attained by the majority of his contemporaries. He had reached a breathing-place, where he could pause with a sense of deeds accomplished and of possible rewards in the future.
All that neutral ground of character which stood between vice and virtue; or which, in fact, was indifferent to neither, where neither properly was called in question that happy breathing-place from the burden of a perpetual moral questioning the sanctuary and quiet Alsatia of hunted casuistry is broken up and disfranchised as injurious to the interests of society.
