All the valley seemed in motion. We joined the motley throng of camels, carts, and horsemen; and even the motor car coughed and wheezed its way to Urga under the stimulus of two bearded Russians. We made our camp on a beautiful bit of lawn within a few hundred yards of one of the most interesting of all the Urga temples.
'He spent his honeymoon at his place at Wrensham; told me so. Blathenoy had therefore then heard of the building of Lakelands by the Victor Radnor of the City; and had then, we guess in the usual honeymoon boasting of a windbag with his bride wheezed the foul gossip, to hide his emptiness and do duty for amusement of the pretty little caged bird.

"Mighty well!" cried he, as soon as he could recover breath, "mighty well! and so you would persuade me that the literature of an age is to be perpetuated by a vagabond deer-stealer! by a man without learning! by a poet! forsooth a poet!" And here he wheezed forth another fit of laughter.
Freckles stared as he wheezed for breath. He wished the earth would open and swallow him. Was he dead or alive? Since his Angel had seen Black Jack she never had glanced his way.

"Too much woods smoke," gasped poor Simon. "Ah, I see! Well, let me rub this grease into your chest. You must take two of these pills every half hour until you stop wheezing." "Haven't any clock," growled Simon.
