"I made that up!" said Rosy, triumphantly revealing her whole face, joyful again, and bright as a full moon. "Who'll be next?" asked Eyebright. "I will," said Laura. "Listen now, for it's going to be perfectly awful, I can tell you. It's about robbers." As she spoke these words, Laura lowered her voice, into a sort of half-groan, half-whisper.
Elements gathered from all sources from his own historical work, from the squire's book, from the secret half-conscious recesses of the mind entered into it, and as it passed it seemed to scorch the heart. He stayed bowed there a while, then he roused himself with a half-groan, and hastily extinguishing his lamp he groped his way upstairs to his wife's room. Catherine lay asleep.

In accordance with Bivens's instructions the cashier opened the bronze doors and squeezed through, admitting Stuart and two detectives. At the sight of the cashier a thrill of horror swept the crowd half-groan, half-sigh, half-cry, inarticulate, inhuman, beastly in its grovelling fear. "Great God!" "They're going to suspend!"

Then I heard a sound as of his chair being pulled up to his desk, followed by a brief silence. Then, all of a sudden, I heard another sound, half-cry, half-groan, and a sort of dull thud, as if something had fallen. A moment later, as I was wondering what had happened, and what to do, I heard the door which opens into the corridor close gently.
It was a sound of pain, half-groan and half-moan. Something was in distress. Distress in the wilderness usually means a good dinner for some one, so Black Bruin crept cautiously forward. Soon the wind brought moose-scent to the bear's nostrils and he was filled with fear and tempted to flee, but still he could hear deep groans and sighs.
A moment elapsed before he made any reply. "Yes, I did," he said, with a half-groan of pain in his voice. "You did! really you did!

'Please don't mind me, said King, and Vernon very kindly did not. Since King loved 'virile' about as much as he did 'spouse' or 'forsooth' the Form looked up hopefully. But Jove thundered not.
But that cry of desolation pierced straight through his madness, cutting deeper than reproach or protest, wounding him to the heart.
