Sollers:

What he said,
The dowser!

Merrick:

Ay, about his yellowhammers.

Sollers:

And there's a kind of stifle in the air
Already!

Merrick:

It seems to me, my breathing goes
All hot down my windpipe, hot as cider
Mulled and steaming travels down my swallow.

Sollers:

And a queer racing through my ears of blood.
