A year later the next regent, the child-king's grandfather, Lord Lennox, was slain in a fray at Stirling; and it was only when the regency passed into the strong hand of Morton at the close of 1572, and when England intervened in the cause of order, that the land won a short breathing-space.
"Don't be a tyrant, Dick!" she said. "My beautiful princess!" He touched her shoulder with his lips. "Then don't you please be a goose! Tell me quick!" "And if I can't tell you, Dick? If if it's just an instinct that says, Wait? We've been too headlong as it is. I can't I daren't go on at this pace." She was almost tearful. "I must have a little breathing-space indeed.
The colt plunged wildly, making furious blind dashes backward and forward, stopping dead in the hope of dislodging his rider, twirling round suddenly until it seemed impossible that he could keep his feet. Then he started rearing, straight up, his forelegs beating the air, higher and higher, and then down, to commence again without a moment's breathing-space.
"Good Heavens!" Katharine exclaimed, after listening to all these remarks, "I suppose I ought to make up my mind." But the debate was a formal skirmishing, a pastime to gain breathing-space.

Then he proceeded to London, not without an outbreak of his characteristic energy in over-coming the difficulties which involved two hours of "weary battling" of securing a horse-box for Pen's pony. At Amiens Tennyson, with his wife and children, was on the platform.
Emmet had been driving slowly to give his mare a breathing-space. Now, as she veered suddenly of her own accord, he drew in the reins with a jerk, and brought the sleigh to a standstill so near to Lena Harpster that he could have touched her with his hand. Her first alarm was followed immediately by such a chaos of deeper emotions that the cry died away on her lips.
For it did not; escape me that the few words he had stopped to speak to me had invested me with interest in the eyes of all who stood near. They gave me more room and a wider breathing-space, and looking at me askance, muttered my name in whispers.
Maxton, struggling all the way, was dragged to the door, and cast out into the playground. Most of the restless spirits in the audience requiring a short breathing-space to recover their wind after the tussle, there followed a few moments' quiet, which Fletcher immediately took advantage of to mount the sink and resume the business of the meeting.
All women fly to it when confronted by something they do not understand." "Oh, but I do understand. And that's the pity of it."
