Now a forkful of hay is light, but a load of the fragrant stuff is very heavy and very smothery, and it depends entirely upon where the victim lands under such an avalanche whether the matter is serious or otherwise. For a minute nobody could be sure just where the slender, blue-clad figure might be, for it made no outcry.
Try as he might to strangle his reaction, some animal quality in that unrestrained laughter had grasped at his imagination, and for the first time in four months aroused his old aversion and horror toward all the business of life. The room had grown smothery. He wanted to be out in some cool and bitter breeze, miles above the cities, and to live serene and detached back in the corners of his mind.
The ground sloped precipitously; and I was holding back by the underbrush lest the bank led to water when an indistinct sound, a smothery murmur like the gurgle of a subterranean pool, came from below. The wind fell. The swirl of the flowing river sounded far from the rear. I had become confused and was travelling away from the true course. But what was that sound? I threw a stick forward.
In a moment they were mere fantastic shadows galloping up the hill through the smothery gloom. Then came Jim, leading Rex and a horse for himself; Sir Redmond had saddled his gray and was waiting. Beatrice sprang into the saddle and took the lead, with nerves a-tingle. The wind that rushed against her face was hot and reeking with smoke. Her nostrils drank greedily the tang it carried.
Here in her hand was a living thing, here was a little soul! And out there in the darkness were millions upon millions of other little souls, of little flame-like or coiled-up shapes alive and true. A voice behind her said: "Nothing nicer than darkness, is there?" She knew at once it was the one who was going to bite; the voice was proper for him, having a nice, smothery sound.
How I hate women!" he kept mumbling to himself as he struggled clumsily all alone into the torn sleeve lining of his thousand dollar mink coat. Like a train-traveler coming out of a long, smoky, smothery tunnel Into the clean-tasting light, the White Linen Nurse came out of the prudish-smelling hospital into the riotous mud-and-posie promise of the young April afternoon.
'Tain't fair; and besides if you'll try this thing just a while longer you'll come to like it." "Like it! Yes the way I'd like a hot stove if I was to set on it long enough. No, Tom, I won't be rich, and I won't live in them cussed smothery houses. I like the woods, and the river, and hogsheads, and I'll stick to 'em, too.
Come, make short work of it, break her neck gripe harder back with her, back with here against the bedstead: keep her down, down I say she must not rise again. Crack! went a little something in her neck did you hear it? There's the death-rattle, the last smothery complicated gasp what, didn't you hear that? And the devil congratulated Simon on his victory.
'Tain't fair; and besides if you'll try this thing just a while longer you'll come to like it." "Like it! Yes the way I'd like a hot stove if I was to set on it long enough.

I was powerful glad to get away from the feuds, and so was Jim to get away from the swamp. We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft. TWO or three days and nights went by; I reckon I might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and smooth and lovely.
