And she, looking after him as he went down the street with head bent in thought, grew weak with a terrible weakness, a sort of hunger, and deep in her heart she cried out: "Oh, the brave, splendid life he leads out there in the world! Oh, the big, brave world!" She clinched her pink hand. "Oh, this terrible, humdrum woman's life! It kills me, it smothers me. I must do something.
The sigh of anguish he wishes to keep in, his very breath which he smothers, exhaust the lower part of his trunk, and works into his flanks, which make us judge in some degree of the palpitations of his visceral organs. But his own suffering appears to occasion less anguish than the pain of his children, who turn their faces toward their father, and implore him, crying for help.
Then Leonard half smothers Johnnie and Ned under the robes, and Maggie, about to pick her way through the snow, finds herself taken up in strong arms, like one of the children, and is with them. The chime of bells dies away in the distance. Wedding-bells will be their echo. The merry Christmas-day has passed. Dr. and Mrs. Marvin, the Kev. Mr. and Mrs.
At that moment, giving way suddenly to the violence of her feelings, and tired of her assumed dissimulation, she warmly locks me in her arms at the very instant of the voluptuous crisis, smothers me with kisses, shares my raptures, and love blends our souls in the most ecstatic enjoyment.

"I want such different things the society of the cultivated, the stimulus of great natures. Maybe I could write something that would get before the public then."
This is an unchancy country in winter time, what with fog and scurvy and one thing and another. In Iceland you do better, because you have the wind but here the fog smothers everything.
