"Tell me, was I singin'?" "Why, yes, you were. That is, you were were " "Makin' a noise as if I'd swallowed a hymn book and one of the tunes was chokin' me to death? Um-hm, that's the way I sing. And I was singin' when you left me, eh?
"'That woman at the gate, I said, almost chokin' as I spoke, 'wont let me out. "'She wont? said Mrs. Jackson. 'Well, that's a way she has. Four times the Bank of the United States has closed its doors before I was able to get there, on account of that woman's obstinacy about the gate. Indeed, I have not been to the Bank at all yet, for of course it is of no use to go after banking hours.
Den Hawley, he got plumb tired ob de ol' man swearin' at him, an' he grabbed a picter out ob he's pocket, an' says, 'Damn you; look at dat! What kind ob a fight can yo' make against dat face? De ol' man stared at it a while, sorter chokin' up; den he say softer like: 'It's Hope; where did yo' ebber get dat? and de black debble he laughed, an' shoved de picter back into he's pocket.
"But the feelin', if you understand me, wasn't Christmas-like at all. It had started with green pastures: and green pastures ran in my head, with brooks, and birds singin' away up aloft and bees hummin' all 'round, and the sunshine o' the Lord warmin' everything and warmin' my heart . . . I felt the walls of the cuddy chokin' me of a sudden, an' went on deck. "A fine night it was, up there.
As to his robbing me, it was preposterous, because he himself was at the other end of the alley and saw the whole thing, just as Mr. Murdock related it. "I jumps up. 'You're a liar, Heegan. I was buyin' booze for the two of you; but a policeman nailed me, chokin' off my rhetorics. Mr. Heegan leans over and whispers to the Judge, while I got chilblains along my spine.
"There's a man dyin' out here from No. 2," continued Shorty. "Let him go to hell, then, an' you go, too!" growled out "Mexico," who had for the greater part of the evening been playing in bad luck, but who had refused to quit, waiting for the turn. "He's out here in the snow," continued Shorty, "an' he's chokin' to death, an' we don't know what to do with him." The doctor looked up from his hand.
"Not much of a one," Mackenzie told him, rather wishing that the particulars might be reserved. "Your neck's black like somebody'd been chokin' you, and your face is bunged up some, too. Who done it?" "Do you know Swan Carlson?" Mackenzie inquired, turning slowly to the boy. "Swan Carlson?" Charley's face grew pale at the name; his eyes started in round amazement.
"You can, if you choose; but not here. This is a question of evidence." "Who's Bowker anyhow?" said Dempsey behind his hand to Quigg. "Ridin' 'round in his carriage and chokin' off free speech?" After some moments of thought the judge turned to the president of the board, and said in a measured, deliberate voice: "This signature, in my opinion, is a proper one.
"Drownin' must be mighty pleasant kind of fun alongside of chokin' to death on account of bein' filled plum full with dry sand," Parsons replied. "I allow there ain't no call for us to stay here braggin' about our Nevada hurricanes, Tom Robinson, more especially since we'll make less headway now the sand has been stirred up a bit."

Barbie was a-leanin' on his arm, an' she was wearin' a dress 'at would 'a' made some o' the queens crane their necks a bit, I reckon. Hawthorn had his nerve with him, an' wore a low-necked vest an' a droop-tailed coat. I had my own rig like this hid away in the stallion stable; so it didn't jar me none; but some o' the boys had a hard time chokin' back their grins.
