There in the top tray of her trunk wrapped in tissue paper lay the only evening frock she had, a filmy French dress of white tulle, a Christmas present from her father, a breath-taking, intoxicating extravagance. She had worn it only once. It was with the strangest feeling that she took it out. It seemed to her that the Sheila that had worn that dress was dead.
If there was trouble out there, there would be no one to help. Somewhere below the engines roared, and Tom felt the weight on his chest, sudden and breath-taking. They were on their way. "Between Mars and Jupiter...." After all the tension of preparing for it, the trip out seemed interminable. They were all impatient to reach their destination.
Maldon, intimidated by the mere name. Then she smiled, in an effort to reassure herself. "Louis, you are a tease. You really shouldn't tease me." "I'm not," said Louis, with that careful air of false blank casualness which he would invariably employ for his more breath-taking announcements. "I always carry a loaded revolver."
"No," laughingly came from the President, "but I'll tell you" and then the two heads were together again. A moment for breath-taking came, and the boy said: "Aren't you ever afraid of being shot?" "You mean while I am hunting?" "Oh, no. I mean as President." "No," replied the smiling President. "I'll tell you, Curtis; I'm too busy to think about that.
It was a great, a breath-taking idea, magnificent in its assertion of independence, of rights; but it needed, she felt, to be approached with caution.

Uncle Arthur usedn't to mind it a bit; did it, indeed, with gusto.
The magnitude of the tasks these heroes and champions of the Faith are summoned, at this hour, crowded with destiny, to discharge from the borders of Greenland to the southern extremity of Chile in the Western Hemisphere, and from Scandinavia in the north, to the Iberian peninsula in the south of the European continent, is, indeed, breath-taking in its implications and back-breaking in the strain it imposes.
He rarely, as far as my observation goes, leaps out and across as do the ordinary monkeys, but prefers to progress by a series of slanting ascents followed by breath-taking straight drops to lower levels. When closely pressed from beneath, he will go as high as he can, and will then conceal himself in the thick leaves.
Breath-taking audacity to certain spectators who had followed the delegation hither, some of whom could not refrain from speculating whether it heralded the final scrapping of the machinery of the state; amusing to cynical metropolitan reporters, who grinned at one another as they prepared to take down the proceedings; evoking a fierce approval in the breasts of all rebels among whom was Janet.
He carries his manner to a point where he seems to laugh at it himself, and then, with a touch of poignant realism or a poetic phrase, he confounds the reader's judgment. The virtuosity of the performance is breath-taking! There is no poverty in his books. His creatures do not toil. They cut coupons off bonds.
The weather began to clear while we were driving up a valley called the Kienthal, and presently a vast black cloud-bank in front of us dissolved away and uncurtained the grand proportions and the soaring loftiness of the Blumis Alp. It was a sort of breath-taking surprise; for we had not supposed there was anything behind that low-hung blanket of sable cloud but level valley.
