Her chest heaved with one long breath, then subsided; her brow tightened. She turned to her son. "Art tha goin to let Daffady do all thy work for tha?" she said sharply. "Has t' roan calf bin looked to?"

A man at the head, another at the heels, and toss each into the barge. Is there time, captain, to take this heap of cutlery with us as trophies of the fray?" "Yes," replied the captain, "if we are quick about it." The howling human packages were hurled from ledge to barge; the strong, unerring sailors, accustomed to the task, heaved no man into the water.
Petrus heaved a sigh of relief, for he had not till now been perfectly convinced of his son's innocence; but, far from triumphing or making Phoebicius feel the injustice he had done him, he said kindly for he felt some sympathy with the Gaul in his misfortune: "I wish the messenger could also give some news of your wife's retreat; she found it hard to accommodate herself to the dull life here in the oasis, perhaps she has only disappeared in order to seek a town which may offer more variety to such a beautiful young creature than this quiet spot in the desert."
The heart-breaking sobs filled every corner of the room, and the figure on the bed heaved convulsively with each one. Polly was the first to speak.

No need to ascertain by sight towards whom his looks, his thoughts were directed. He took off his hat and waved it, touching one part of it as if with particular meaning. When he turned away at last, Hepburn heaved a heavy sigh, and crept yet more into the cold dank shadow of the cliffs. Each step was now a heavy task, his sad heart tired and weary.
By pulling myself a little higher I could get a better view, not of the stack, but of the stretch of roof beyond it: nobody could break cover in that direction and escape me. I took a firm grip on the corroded bricks and heaved on them. Next moment they had given way under my hands, falling inwards: and I was falling with them.
Her bosom heaved, her soul burned with joy and, as it came nearer and nearer, she threw kisses "What ship is that?" shouted Moody's harsh, strident tones close beside Barthelemy. Roused from his waking dream, he cast a half startled, half angry glance at the speaker. "What ship do you mean?"
Jarvis, and whoever was related to her must surely be above the ordinary in spite of appearances. Mrs. Jarvis was looking down at Elizabeth with a smile illuminating her sad face. "So this is the little baby with the big eyes my dear husband used to talk so much about." She heaved a great sigh.
