Chip had not long to wait for a chance to strike the first blow in carrying out his new resolution of fast trading. The day after his memorable rebuff, he was sitting in the choky little counting-room of a crammed commission-warehouse in India Street, musing and mousing over the various schemes that occurred to his fertile brain for increasing the profits of his business.
It was very exciting. They were not lonely. Their narrow beds, but little wider than the quartermaster cots at Sill, were side by side, nearly touching. Presently Bill spoke. "What's the matter with you, Frank?" "Nothing! What ails you?" retorted Frank. "Nothing, but you breathe so hard sort of choky and gaspy." "That's you doing that," said Frank. "I can't sleep with you snorting so."
"It's so nice to have been born Jean, and speak on any subject as the eldest sister," she said, scornfully. "I know perfectly well that mother needs me when she is moving back into the new house, and I never expected to stay so long when I came, anyway." She stopped short, meditating on just what this queer, choky feeling was that had swept over her.
Ellins, kind of choky; "that that will be all." You should have seen the different expressions around that table after the Captain has gone. I don't know that I ever saw Old Hickory actually look sheepish before. As for Auntie, she's almost ready to blow a fuse. "Well," says she explosive. "I like that! Jokes, are we?" "So it appears," says Mr. Ellins.
Maybe too, she'll find out some day that her rough old mother, who got left so far behind, thinks a lot of her still. You you'll tell her as much some time perhaps. Won't you?" Say, take it from me, I was so misty in the eyes about then, and so choky under my collar, that I couldn't have done it myself. But Westy did. There's a heap more to him than shows on the outside. "Mrs.
We were wondering how much good the little respirators we were carrying would be, and the answer came soon enough. As we moved forward we met men falling back gasping, coughing and sobbing, and the stink of their clothing was of hell's own reek, a choky mixture of chlorine and sulphur.
An engineer knows nothin' but his trade, sir. Take it away, and he's a laborin' man. "I'd ha' worked and learned another, but they jailed me put me in choky, 'cause I had no visible means o' support. I had no money, and was a criminal under the law. And they kept at it, jailed me again and again as a vagrant, when all I wanted was work. After a while I didn't care.
We pretended we were in sight of Euston Station, and talked of taking a Baker Street bus till our voices grew choky. How absurd we islanders are! London is a poky place, but we adore it. St. James's Street is about the length of a good big ship, yet we don't feel we have lived till we get back to it! And as for Piccadilly and St. Paul's, well, we see them in our dreams.
And for the other genuine articles, I don't know that much of the tea comes from China and the coffee is sold ground, because it is burnt maize and there's a plenty of wholesome cabbage leaf cut up in the tobacco while as for snuff, I give them a dry, peppery, choky, sneezy dust, and I dare say that it does its duty." It was astonishing how innocently the worthy couple laughed together.
In addition to the heat, the clouds of dust raised by the force in front rendered it choky work for those in rear; and no one was sorry when, about five o'clock, the bugles sounded the halt. Jack dismounted, feeling uncommonly sore and stiff, but was soon busily engaged helping to make fires of dry grass and mimosa scrub, on which to boil the camp kettles for tea.
