"Speak, and answer me!" exclaimed the ruffian, levelling a pistol at him. I tried to spring forward to throw myself before him, but the smugglers held me back, though the action, instead of making them angry, seemed to gain we more respect from them, as they held me less rudely than before, and no longer amused themselves by twisting the handkerchief, Thug fashion, round my gullet.
The mother bird reached over and impatiently jerked the refractory morsel out of her baby's throat, thumped it vigorously several times against the branch, then gave it to him again, as much as to say, "Now try it! I guess you can manage it this time." And he did, for down his gullet it went with very little effort. Then she went after more provender for his spacious craw.
On the eastern side Bucquoy's attack was an entire failure. His arrangements were too slowly made, and before he could bring his men to the assault the water was so high in the Gullet that they refused to lay their pontoons and march to certain death.
Perhaps you might make a fair superintendent of school machines, but you ought not to fish! Or, you may despise the fish, if you choose, and when he has left you, you may gloat over the fact that "anyhow you have stuck something into his gullet that will stay there, and that he can't get away from."

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc., divisions, and so on, form what are known as the bronchial tubes. This budding off of the lungs from the gullet is the reason why the air we breathe and the food we swallow go down the same passage.
"Have you seen him?" Shag asked of A'tim. "He flew away early," answered the Dog-Wolf. "He should have taken all his coat with him," answered Shag, thrusting from his mouth a bunch of grass in which were three brown feathers. "He flew far away," affirmed A'tim sheepishly. "The length of your gullet, Dog-Wolf," declared Shag. "Thou must be wondrous hungry to eat one of our own party a cannibal."
It'll make you swallow the strainer, or, as they say, in fashionable society, stink in the gullet. Wrap yourself up well in the hide! I'm going to put out the light. Are you ready?" "Yes," murmured the elder, "I'm all right. I seem to have feathers under my head." "People don't say 'head," cried Gavroche, "they say 'nut'."
