Up to this time the excitement had kept us both up; but now the tiresome monotony of the long march across the sun-baked plain brought on all the agonies consequent to a long-denied sleep. On and on we stumbled beneath that hateful noonday sun. If we fell we were prodded with a sharp point. Our companions in chains did not stumble. They strode along proudly erect.
David went to the Portman home in a state of suppressed eagerness and anxiety, one emotion topping the other by turns as he was being driven toward Washington Square. He expected to see Christine. He was counting on it with all the pent-up fervor of a long-denied lover. The brief glimpse he had had of her in the afternoon drove out all doubts as to his own state of mind concerning her.
I gulped it down, and with every grateful inhalation I felt my ribs painfully snapping back into place. Oh, Lady! Didn't I just eat that air up. And then, having gotten filled up with the long-denied oxygen, I asked, "Where's the others?" "Ayen't no hothers," was the brief reply. And there weren't. Later I reconstructed the occurrences of the night from what I was told by the rescuing party.
"People say that he beat you with a stick." The King was ashamed, went to bed again, and hid his face in the pillow. The Doctor considered this a favourable moment for preferring a long-denied request. "Will you now liberate the Milanese?" he asked. "No." "But he cannot sit any more in his iron cage!" "Then let him stand!"
Ridley as the long-denied palate felt the first thrill of sweet satisfaction. He had taken a single mouthful, but another hand seemed to grasp the one that held the cup of wine and press it back to his lips, from which it was not removed until empty. The prescription of Mr. Elliott failed. Either the wine was not pure or his theory was at fault.

I am all yours! do with me as you will!" He caught her in his arms straining her to his heart with all the passion of a long-denied lover's embrace their lips met and for a brief space they were lost in that sudden and divine rapture that comes but once in a lifetime, when like a shivering sense of cold the name again was whispered: "Cosmo de Medicis!"
Look who's here!" was his greeting when we met on the bridge. For a silent moment it was I who did the looking. Kellow had grown a pair of curling black mustaches since his release; he was well-dressed, erect and alert, and was smoking a cigar the fragrance of which made me sick and faint with an attack of the long-denied tobacco hunger. "You're out, too, are you?"
If freed in truth, why should the sight and smell even of Brooker's sticky loquat-brandy have set the long-denied palate craving? Saxham put that question from him with both hands.
Then the martyrdom it is to many! who stoically, day after day, persist in scratching to the quick their irritable chins, and after all to little better end than the diligent earning of tooth-aches, ear-aches, colds, sore throats, and unbecoming blank faces. Like Ireland, we shout for long-denied justice; give us our beards.
