The chamber of the Dauphine was there; the bed had its foot towards the window; by the chimney was the door of the obscure wardrobe by which I entered; between the chimney and one of the two windows was a little portable bureau; in front of the ordinary entrance door of the chamber and behind the bureau was the door of one of the Dauphine's rooms; between the two windows was a chest of drawers which was used for papers only.
She could feel the sudden crush of her breath in her chest and the sighing throb in her throat and her lips parting. He grasped the hands she stretched out to him at arms' length. She set her teeth and pressed her feet to the ground, and leaned back, her weight against his weight, tugging. He came up to his feet, alert, laughing at the heavy strength of her pull.
When I joined them, his father told me that the high altitude had knocked his son up so, that he had to be helped from the ordinary sleeper to the special and had gone to bed immediately. Out West we have to know something of medicine, and my car had its chest of drugs: so I took some tablets and went into his state-room.
The sheik, who, like all the rest, was deeply interested in the contents of the chest, said he must do his best. He accordingly gave the child a dose of quinine, and told the mother to give her a cup of the arrow-root, and that in two hours she must take another dose of the quinine.

His big chest heaved under the soft fabric of his shirt as he stood looking down at her, waiting for her answer. She would have given the world to be able to answer him with a simple "No." But her lips refused to shape the word. There was so much that lay between them, so much that was complicated and difficult to interpret. Slowly her eyes fell before his.

What has Ermolai done with it, then?" She ran over to the buffet and found the flask. "Oh, here it is. Papa shan't be without it, after all."
Clothing also may impede the respiratory movements and lead to shallow breathing. If too tight around the chest, clothing interferes with the elevation of the ribs; and if too tight around the waist, it prevents the depression of the diaphragm.
"Ain't this a great find, though?" declared Bob White, who was particularly fond of the water, and boats of all kinds. Bumpus smote himself on the chest, and puffed out his fat cheeks, as he looked around at his comrades.
When she opened the chest, the scent of lavender and rosemary, long since dead, struck her like a blow. The room swam before her, yet Miss Evelina dragged forth her linen sheets and pillow-slips, musty, but clean, and made her bed.
