take the air

If she'd felt like taking the air, she could have gone there.

I could see figures on some of them, perhaps taking the air.

These fires took all the air and made the place very hot.

She went upon deck to take the air, and took me with her.

"I too was out taking the air in the woods early this morning."

Were you taking the air to clear the fog today, then?

Pray give me your arm, and we will take the air.

The station took the air on November 1, 1940, and was very active in the community.

Down a little ways, in front of the post office, there were men passing the time, taking the air.

It was starting to get hot in the church, and the candles seemed to be taking all the air.
