Roy coming steadily down the gravel-walk, she was conscious of something that people can not feel twice in a life-time. And now, when he approached with that kind smile of his, which brightened into double pleasure when he saw who was waiting for him, she was aware of a wild heartbeat, a sense of exceeding joy, and then of relief and rest. He was "comfortable" to her.
"I want you two men to come with me. Something odd has happened, and General Quinby and I want two witnesses as to what went on." "What happened, sir?" one of them asked. "Don't know for sure," MacMaine said in a puzzled voice. "The general and I were talking to the prisoner, when all of a sudden he fell over. I think he's dead. I couldn't find a heartbeat.
I'd go with him down into hell itself gladly if he wanted me to!" "Oh!" Hazel gasped. "Are you clean mad?" "Shocked to death, aren't you?" Vesta fleered. "You can't understand, can you? I love him yes. I'm not ashamed to own it. I'm no sentimental prude to throw up my hands in horror at a perfectly natural emotion. But he is not for me. I dare say I couldn't give him an added heartbeat if I tried.
The fact is that the Liberians, knowing that their country has various shortcomings according to Western standards, are quick to assume the defensive, and one method of protecting themselves is by erecting a barrier of dignity and reserve. One has only to go beyond this, however, to find the real heartbeat of the people.

"Kind of rough on both of 'em, I'd guess." "How do you mean?" "Well, I mean, like.... Well, for instance, why are they going over to the play area? Play games, right?
There was a clangor of metal at the farthest end of the room. Larrimer's gun had rattled on the boards, unfired. He tossed up his great gaunt arms as though he were appealing for help, leaped into the air, and fell heavily, with a force that vibrated the floor where Terry stood. There was one heartbeat of silence.
It wasn't so much a matter of technique, only when I played Nocturne in D flat a hammer inside the piano case hit a wire; when De Pachman touched those same keys a nerve kissed a heartbeat." "Alma Neugass! You poor you splendid girl!"
It is a great, soft, dull buffet of sound like a heartbeat in its regularity, in its muffled depth, in the way it quakes up through one's pillow so as to be felt rather than heard. It is simply the pounding of the ponderous pestle of the kometsuki, the cleaner of rice a sort of colossal wooden mallet with a handle about fifteen feet long horizontally balanced on a pivot.
A thousand confirmatory details leaped into her mind: the rich, sweet voices the dramatic ability the banjo the deprecatory air of timidity the self-conscious unwillingness to take the leading position to which their talents and beauty gave them a right. Yes, of course it was true! In the space of a heartbeat, all her romantic Italian imaginings vanished.
He isn't at all precocious, speaks very little, doesn't know where he lives, and can't even pronounce his own name?" "Unfortunately that is so." "Not far from Asnières gate? A suspected quarter. But cheer up. We have a very intelligent Commissaire de Police there. I'll telephone to him." The distressed father was left alone for five minutes. How his temples throbbed and his heartbeat!
