I passed these four hours in sleep, waking up every quarter of an hour to pass water an extraordinary occurrence, as I was not at all subject to stranguary; the heat was great, and I had not supped the evening before. I have noticed at other times that surprise at a deed of oppression acts on me as a powerful narcotic, but I found out at the time I speak of that great surprise is also a diuretic.
Evidently large quantities of the herb were burned in the central chamber, and the aromatic and narcotic vapour was carried through the tubes to the house of every citizen, so that he might inhale it at will.
He paused a moment, then added gravely, with a quiet note of thankfulness in his voice: "As I, also, shall have my work." There remained always that work, the great palliative, a narcotic dulling the pain which, without it, would be almost beyond human endurance. "Everything's just about as bad as it could be!"

Nothing that I could do availed to produce from her more than a few incoherent words it was a death-like sleep. She had certainly drank of some narcotic, as had I probably also, spite of all the caution with which I had examined everything presented to us to eat or drink. I now attempted, with as little noise as possible, to force first one door, then the other but all in vain.
I won't sleep a wink, either!" he whined. Ned handed him a dime and pointed to the door. "Go and buy some," he said, knowing that the fellow would be in fighting mood if he was not supplied with the narcotic. "Come back here and smoke."
Red shafts, green roof, and here and there a pane of blue sky neither Owen Jones nor Willement can improve upon that ecclesiastical ornamentation, while for incense I have the fresh healthy turpentine fragrance, far sweeter to my nostrils than the stifling narcotic odour which fills a Roman Catholic cathedral.
