But to have men borrow money that they might serve him, and have horses ready for him, and to be met like this at the gate of India by a man who admitted he was poor, was a little more than his self-control had been trained as yet to stand. "I won't waste words, Mahommed Gunga," he said, half-choking. "I'll er I'll try to prove how I feel about it." "Ha! How said I? Thy father's son, I said!
Her eyes slowly opened to their fullest extent their expression of despair was absolutely frightful a low, gurgling, half-choking sob forced itself from between her lips, and ere a hand could be outstretched to save her, she fell, as if quickly dashed to the ground by no mortal power her piercing shriek of agony ringing through the court-house, with a fearful, prolonged cadence.
I knew one young fellow, a good many years ago, by the name of Hiram What's got into you, Cousin, said our landlady, to look so? There! you 've upset your teacup! It suddenly occurred to me what I had been doing, and I saw the poor woman had her hand at her throat; she was half-choking with the "hysteric ball," a very odd symptom, as you know, which nervous women often complain of.
I can cook, I can sew, and I'm quite cheerful and kind. Then there's George little George. I thought you'd like to have your grandson here with you." "I've lived without him or his father for eight years, an' I could bear it awhile yet, mebbe." There was a half-choking sound from the old woman in the rocking-chair, but she did not speak, though her knitting dropped into her lap.
"You you, who love a vagabond, a tramp, scum and off-scouring of the gutter?" A strange, half-choking sound was his only answer. Then, with no word, she turned away from him, biting her lip lest she answer and betray herself. "Go!" he commanded, bloodless and quivering. "Go to your room. No more of this! We shall see, soon, who's master of this house!" She was already gone.
He was no match for his slippery adversary in a diplomatic dialogue, and he knew it. "The sun rises in the East," he cried, half-choking, "but it sets it sets!" "So does a hen," was the cynical reply. The last remnants of the Prince's self-control were slipping away. This elusive, diplomatic conversation is a terrible strain if one is not in the mood for it.
The old man lay considering his son with a pondering glance, "Are you happy, too, now?" he asked. "It seems to me as though there is something about your marriage that ought not to be." "Yes, father, it's quite all right," Pelle replied in a half-choking voice. "Well, God be thanked for that! You've got a good wife in Ellen, and she has given you splendid children. How is Young Lasse?
I'll run down to the Cromarty Arms, and order a cab to carry us away at once from this inhospitable sham castle." "You wear a wig, sir; you wear a wig," Charles exclaimed, half-choking with passion. For, indeed, as Forbes-Gaskell spoke, and tossed his head angrily, the nature of his hair-covering grew painfully apparent. It was quite one-sided.

Let me explain about how I came here, and all that. But first, before I do that, let me tell you how how I love you how I have loved you all these long months. I THINK I loved you from the first time I saw you.
Now spring came on, and the oriole began to sing, strange, half-choking sounds at first, interspersed with his harshest notes, as if he were forced to sing by the season, but was resolved that no one should enjoy it as music, and so spoiled it by these interpolations. I found afterwards, however, on studying his wild relatives, that this is their customary way of singing.
