But, now, poor lady, she was all curiosity and anxiety about this strange other side of things, and inclined, too, to be rather proud of the originality of her inquiries on the subject. So that night after night she would keep George up, after an exhausting day, till the small hours, while she declared her own views "on God, on Nature, and on Human Life," and endeavoured to extract his.
Polly and I always have a little lunch here in the honey house when we have finished, to revive us after our exhausting labor." Oliver was about to protest that he must go on at once, but the man interrupted him, with a twinkle in his eye. "There is a spring behind the house where we wash up," he said. "Polly will give you some soap and a towel.

On the adjournment, Lord George had gone down to Newmarket, which he greatly enjoyed after his exhausting campaign. Here some letters on the subject of the leadership passed, but nothing was definitely arranged till some time after the re-assembling of Parliament.
"Our lamp is going out, for want of oil, and we are fast exhausting our provisions. At last, thank God!" Penellan went to replace André Vasling, who was vigorously working for the common deliverance.

His rushes were losing some of their fierceness now, and the boy, shortening his line as he found opportunity, was able to partly drag the fish along to help in exhausting or "drowning" him, since his mouth was gaping open.
Wine and the climate maddened these unbridled Europeans. Avarice is a calculating passion; but here were aimless and exhausting horrors, like those which swarm in the drunkard's corrupted brain.
