"The deuce it is!" exclaimed Beverley. Constance reached for a telephone on the desk near her. "Get me the Law Division at the Customs House," she asked simply. Dumont was pale and almost speechless. Beverley could ill suppress his smothered rage. What could they do? The tables had been turned. If they objected to the amazing proposal Constance had made they might all go to jail.
"Has the Doctor come back from the City this soon?" demanded the singer lady, with a queer thump in her cardiac region that almost smothered her voice.
The sole condition of our having anything, no matter what, is that we should have so much of it, that we are fortunate if we do not grow sick of the sight and sound of it altogether. Everything is smothered in the litter that is fated to accompany it. Without too much you cannot have enough, of anything.
"The boat is still there, but not a man has dipped an oar." "They will soon," returned Sweetwater as a smothered sound of clanking iron reached his ears from the hollow spaces before him. "Duck your head, sir; I'm going to row in under this portion of the house." Mr. Grey would have protested and with very good reason. There was scarcely a space of three feet between them and the boards overhead.
He had ceased to take any interest in the traveling public, and answered my questions as briefly as possible. After he had gone some distance he turned to look back, but finding that I still sat on the baggage truck in the sunshine, just where he left me, he smothered his natural apprehensions, and went on.

His joy welled up and overflowed in him as overflows a river in time of spate. He bent forward, caught her hand, and bore it to his lips. "Clotilde!" he cried, in a smothered voice; then the door opened, and Marius stepped into the long chamber. At the creaking sound of the opening door the Seneschal bestirred himself to rise.
Despondency had like to have been starved therein; yea, and also, which I had almost forgot, that Christian himself, about whom there has been such a noise, after all his ventures for a celestial crown, was certainly drowned in the Black River, and never went foot further, however it was smothered up. GREAT-HEART. And did none of these things discourage you?
Down, down she plunged, her wheels whirling in mid-air, a solid stream of fire escaping from her quivering stack, and from her throat a shriek that almost froze the blood in the veins of the onlookers. Fainter and farther came the cry, until at last the wild waters caught her, held her, hushed her, and smothered out her life.
"Paul!" exclaimed the reproachful, but smothered voice of Ellen. "Never fear, Nelly," whispered the literal bee-hunter, whose straight-going mind suggested no other motive of uneasiness, on the part of his mistress, than concern for himself; "I have taken the measure of them all, and you may trust an eye that has seen to line many a bee into his hole!"
