In those strange gutturals which the boys had heard in the hut, he rumbled an Indian sentence, repeating it in English with scared, breaking breaths. It was a prayer of her tribe which his mother had taught him to say at morning and eve: "God I am weak Pity me!" "Heap noise! Heap dark!" he gasped. "Can't find th' old camp." "You're near it now, old chum," said Herb, trying to soothe him.

Only," she said, but her voice now shook so that she could hardly say the words "only I will always be here loving you, Augustine; loving you and perhaps, forgive me if I have no right to that, even hoping; hoping that some day, in some degree, you may care for me again." She stopped. She could say no more. And she could only hear her own shuddering breaths. Then Augustine moved.

Their long arms and golden tresses waved languishingly downward in the breeze; their eyes glittered like diamonds; their breaths perfumed the air.

He took deep breaths of the moisture, and it seemed to water and revive his parching soul. He found himself, to his surprise, surveying with equanimity the pile of books in the corner which had led him to the conviction of the emptiness of the universe but the universe was no longer empty! It was cruel, but a warring force was at work in it which was not blind, but directed.

They were all on the carpet still, and the carpet was lying in its proper place on the nursery floor, as calm and unmoved as though it had never been to the theatre or taken part in a fire in its life. Four long breaths of deep relief were instantly breathed. The draught which they had never liked before was for the moment quite pleasant. And they were safe. And every one else was safe.

Jane was talking very fast now. Her words came tremulously between short, broken breaths. "But until I get well enough to earn money, I can't, you see. And I've been thinking; would you be willing to take me until until I can? I'm lots better, already, and getting stronger every day. It wouldn't be for long." "Why, of course, Jane!"

She took deep breaths of it, thankful from her heart for the release. When, at last, Traill knocked upon the door, she could turn with brave assurance and bid him enter. He came in with questioning eyes that lost their querulousness the moment they had found her face. "You're better?" he said at once. "Yes." She smiled reassuringly. "I'm absolutely all right now."

They talked over the disquieting vision, whilst the little lamp-flame, wavering in breaths of air, cast strange shadows about the room. On the walls were faded frescoes, one of which represented the poetess Proba on her knees before St. Agnes. Impelled by her fears, Aurelia of a sudden knelt before this picture, and prayed silently to the virgin martyr.

The rain now fell steadily in straight stripes; the noise grew fainter and the sky broke open. Soaked through with the wet, the children came creeping out of the ditch and now, holding their breaths, stood looking at that tree which was so awesomely cleft and at that crippled bough which hung swinging over space.

In slow, deep breaths, like one who had been dragged from drowning, he drank in the salt, chill air. After one glance the four men also turned, and in the falling darkness stood staring at nothing, and no one spoke. The aide was the first to break the silence. In a polite tone, as though he were continuing a conversation which had not been interrupted, he addressed the admiral.
