His brother got into bed, and whether he slept or did not sleep, tossed about like a sick man, coughed, and when he could not get his throat clear, mumbled something. Sometimes when his breathing was painful, he said, "Oh, my God!" Sometimes when he was choking he muttered angrily, "Ah, the devil!" Levin could not sleep for a long while, hearing him.
I no longer know; but one evening she came home wet, for it was raining heavily, and the next day she coughed, and she coughed for about a week, and took to her bed. What happened I do not remember now, but doctors came, wrote and went away. Medicines were brought, and some women made her drink them. Her hands were hot, her forehead was burning, and her eyes bright and sad.
I would not disturb him, but simply raised one hand to my cap, and stood a little distance off. He took no notice of me, only wiped his mouth-organ and went on playing. This went on for some time; then at last, waiting till he stopped to wipe his instrument again, I coughed. "That you, Ingeborg?" he called out. I thought he must be speaking to someone in the house behind him, and made no answer.
D'Artagnan colored a little, and coughed to keep his countenance. Monk did not stir. "You do not believe what I tell you, M. Monk," continued the king. "I can understand that, such proofs of devotion are so rare, that their reality may well be put in doubt."
The unconscious professor passed over her bent head and called on the girl on the other side, who coughed hysterically once or twice, and flunked flat; and while he was crediting the fact in his roll-book Patty resumed her seat.

I thought you said something about my pace, because I was walking so slowly. That made me fancy you were interested to know what ails my feet. Excuse me! I beg your pardon, professor!" "Hum!" coughed the professor, again scratching his chin with the tip of his finger, while he peered through his spectacles, plainly still somewhat suspicious.

He took it up as he spoke, and glanced over the pages. "You can determine that from a perusal. If the sketch suits you, I should like to become a regular contributor."
One evening I arrived a little before my time, and was shown up into the drawing-room by the soft-footed butler. They were sitting in the dusk with their arms round one another. It was impossible to withdraw, so I faced the situation and coughed. A pair of middle-class lovers could not have appeared more awkward or surprised.
"A serious position has undoubtedly arisen," he said blandly. "His Majesty did not see his way clear to adopt certain recommendations put forward by his Ministers to-day, by myself, I may say, acting on behalf of my colleagues," and he coughed deferentially, "and General Stampoff took an active part in the debate. He set forth his views with er what I considered to be er unnecessary vehemence.
"I guess," coughed Pale Face Harry, with a sickly smile, "I look the part." "You certainly do," said Helena cheerfully, beating a tattoo with her heels on the end of the couch.
