'Beastly thing to go down in a fog, said a young gentleman who was travelling for pleasure. 'Chokes a man both ways, y' know. We were comfortably gathered in the smoking-room, the weather being too cold to venture on the deck. Conversation naturally turned upon accidents of fog, the horn tooting significantly in the pauses between the tales.
"'You have no idea how happy you have made me, Polly, said Vea. 'Aunt Mary always says there is a great deal of good in Patrick, only his love of mischief sometimes chokes the good seed. It is very strange he never lets us see him doing a kind or a generous action. "At this moment Natilie opened the cottage door and called to her young mistress to come up.
And please come down to see me the old place West Sixteenth Street." "What about the old girl with the ingrowing grouch? What's her name? She ain't stuck on me." "Mrs. Zapp? Oh hope she chokes. She can just kick all she wants to. I'm just going to have all the visitors I want to." "All right. Say, tell us something about your trip." "Oh, I had a great time.

"'Hold your tongue, wife! said he. 'If it chokes me, I must fast."
Then methought "It were an easy leap to pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon;" but now I am old and fat, and there is something in fat which chokes or destroys ambition.
