In the second place there's no place in Toronto for you and the kids to stay! Use yer head, woman!" With no warning he was caught up in a fit of coughing. He hacked as though he was going to choke to death. Finally he could breathe again. He lit a cigarette to calm himself down and continued to pace back and forth, back and forth.
