The Yellow Fairy Book, How Six Men Travelled Through the Wide World, part 1, sentence 50

The cook did so, and the Six sitting round the table felt it grow very warm, and they thought this was because of their good fare; but when the heat became still greater and they wanted to go out, but found the doors and windows fastened, then they knew that the King meant them harm and was trying to suffocate them.
