They soon became the fashion. No ball or soiree, no dance or concert was considered complete without them. Artists sketched them together as "Lily and Rose," "Night and Morning," "Sunlight and Moonlight." Poets indited sonnets to them; friends and admirers thronged around them. As Beatrice said, with a deep-drawn sigh of perfect contentment, "This is life" and she reveled in it.
The lips trembled; the voice strove to speak, but it was only like the ghost of a whisper, the faint question that came, "Felipe?" "Yes, dear! I am here, too," breathed Felipe; "go to sleep. We will not leave you!" And again Ramona sank away into the merciful sleep which was saving her life. "Ther longer she kin sleep, ther better," said Aunt Ri, with a sigh, deep-drawn like a groan.
I did not think it could be more so. Yet behold me crying as I have not cried for many and many a day. Not for Harry; I dare not cry for him. I feel a deathlike quiet when I think of him; a fear that even a deep-drawn breath would wake him in his grave. And as dearly as I love you, O Hal, I don't want you in this dreary world again.... Talk of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes!
Masks were passing in and out; the nervous joy of the ladies expressed itself in a deep-drawn quivering sigh. Their carriage door was opened by a servant of the theatre, who wished them a pleasant veglione, and the next moment they were in the crowded vestibule, where they paused a moment, to let Imogene and Effie really feel that they were part of a masquerade.
I should forget anything to-night, except that I am to dance with you." The Duchessa looked away, and fanned herself slowly; but she sighed, and checked the deep-drawn breath as by a great effort. The waltz was over, and the dancers streamed through the intervening rooms towards the gallery in quest of fresher air and freer space.
If our great captains sleep soundly the night before a battle, it is like enough for the reason that their fatigue will not let them do otherwise. He was conscious of no sound save the equal, deep-drawn breathing of that slumbering multitude, rising from the darkening camp like the gentle respiration of some huge monster; beyond that all was void.
"Speak up, Red," replied Kells, with a glinting eye. "I swear there won't be a gun pulled." The other men shifted from one foot to another and there were deep-drawn breaths. Jim Cleve alone seemed quiet and cool. But his eyes were ablaze. "Fust off an' for instance here's one who's double-crossin' you," said Pearce, in slow, tantalizing speech, as if he wore out this suspense to torture Kells.
Dugdale, said, in a low voice and with deep-drawn breath, "She is angelic!" Hon. Dugdale turned, gave a questioning look, then replied, "She is strangely beautiful! Do you know her?" "Yes; I have met her several times. I accompanied her here to-night. The tones of her voice are like benedictions of peace; her words a call to higher service and nobler life." Just then Rev. Carmicle was announced.
Let our hearts grow to it, so that nothing but death can sunder the bond." He ceased, and then, amidst a silence broken only by the deep-drawn breath of emotion in the assembly, lifted up his voice in a prayer to Almighty God, full of fervor and feeling, imploring His blessing and sanctification upon the Convention and its labors.
I mean, I've danced so much ..." "I've seen you dance, my dear," he reminded her, and saw how, with a deep-drawn breath, the memory of that night at Hickory Hill came back to her. "Don't," she gasped. "Let me go on." But it was the better part of a minute before she could.
