"Demand it, Joe a pore old feller wi' kidneys an' every other ailment as flesh is hair to a piggy-back, Joe a piggy-back!"
And if it murders we who hang it have beforehand hypnotised its will and armed its hand to slay." So Nellie thought, the tears drying on her cheeks, leaning forward to watch the twitching, purpled face of the hard-breathing child. "Is there not a curse upon us and our people, upon our children and our children's children, for every little one we murder by our social sins?
The Dublin Fusiliers, through being in a more difficult position, had been unable to get up as quickly as the others, and most of the hard-breathing excited men who crowded under the wall were of the Rifles and of the Irish Fusiliers. The air was so full of bullets that it seemed impossible to live upon the other side of this shelter.

The old crone, knuckled, hard-breathing, climbed in, holding uncertainly to the windscreen and pulling after her her basket and umbrella. "Cover yourself, madame," ordered Fanny, as to a child, and handed her a rug. "I have never been in an auto before," whispered the old creature against a wind which made her breathless.

The moccasined feet pounded the filthy floor, and the dust gathered thick round the gums of the hard-breathing dancers. The noise of coarse laughter and ribald shoutings increased.
Like a shadow Peter crossed her line of vision. She heard a murmured, "Missy babal" and rising, she bent forward and saw him in the act of severing Tessa's bond with the bread-knife. It was done in a few hard-breathing seconds. The child was free. Peter turned in triumph, and found Monck standing at the other end of the verandah, looking at him.
"You fool!" said Piers. "You fool!" Yet he gave ground, scarcely resisting, and coming up against the bed sat down upon it suddenly as if spent. There fell a brief silence, a tense, hard-breathing pause. Then Piers reached up and freed himself. "Oh, go away, Crowther!" he said. "You're a kind old ass, but I don't want you. And you needn't spend the night in the corridor either. See?
He was met by some of the older and wiser among those who saw him coming and to their questions answered only by demanding Ab, who came at once. The hard-breathing and wounded man could only utter the words "Big tiger," when he pitched forward and became unconscious. But his words had been enough.
But at that moment, the small window at the back of the room, which no one had thought to fasten, flew open and a man slipped nimbly through it a big, hard-breathing, iron-faced man, with perspiration streaming rivers down his sun-tanned cheeks. Mr. Stanhope, with a weak exclamation, moved so as to bring the table between himself and the intruder. Varney's eyes grew suddenly anxious.
