Among other places I went to was the public billiard-room, and on entering, my sympathies were immediately aroused by seeing a lad about thirteen or fourteen, with a very extensive flaming choker on, above which was a frightful large swelling.

We raised plenty Moodie sweet potatoes they call them nigger chokers now.

running about in the little boots, and wearing a great ugly coat and woollen choker,it was not through vanity that you did this.
