Fogfogon the Essex marshes , fogfogon the Kentish heights .
Fogfogin the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners , wheezingwheezeby the firesides of their wards ; fogfogin the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper , down in his close cabin ; fogfogcruelly pinchingpinchthe toes and fingers of his shivering little ' prentice boy on deck .

Chance people on the bridges peepingpeepover the parapets into a nether sky of fogfog, with fogfogall round them , as if they were up in a balloon and hanging in the misty clouds .

Gasgasloomingloomthrough the fogfogin divers places in the streets , much as the sun may , from the spongey fields , be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy .
The raw afternoon is rawest , and the dense fogfogis densest , and the muddy streets are muddiest near that leaden-headed old obstruction , appropriate ornament for the threshold of a leaden-headed old corporation , Temple Bar .
And hard by Temple Bar , in Lincoln 's Inn Hall , at the very heart of the fogfog, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery .
On such an afternoon , if ever , the Lord High Chancellor ought to be sitting here -- as here he is -- with a foggy glory round his head , softly fenced in with crimson cloth and curtains , addressedaddressby a large advocate with great whiskers , a little voice , and an interminable brief , and outwardly directing his contemplationcontemplationto the lantern in the roof , where he can seeseenothing but fogfog.
A fine mistmist, the etherealized essence of the fogfog, hung visibly in the wide and rather empty space of the drawing-room , all silver where the candles were grouped on the tea-table , and ruddy again in the firelight .
