It may be that Jerry's heartbeats were not quite normal just then, but no one would ever know. They rode slowly to a point near the corner of the table, and there Bud halted the two with his lifted hand. Bud was trembling a little but he was smiling, too. Eddie was frankly grinning, Jerry's face was the face of a good poker-player it told nothing.
Then instantly the silence in the room stopped his heartbeats and set him quaking in a superstitious terror through every fiber. He heard the stir of the mouse in the pile of walnuts, the hissing of the flame above the embers, and the sudden breaking of the smoked chimney of the lamp. Then as he leaned down he heard something else the steady ticking of the big silver watch in Fletcher's pocket.
A human being born blind, dumb, deaf, and without feeling would still, I suppose, be a human being, because it would be conscious of existence; it would breathe and know that its heart was beating, but without sight or sensation there could be no idea of space time, to it, would be a meaningless series of breaths or heartbeats.
Her eyes had met his, and had sunk dismayed before the fierce passion that had flamed back at her. In the pause that followed she heard her own heartbeats, quick and hard, like the flying feet of a hunted animal.

At each mile, amid the ever lengthening shadows, nature seemed to grow more sentient. Through the thick air the peaks stood out against the eastern sky, in saffron that flushed to rose and then paled to gray.
This influence or power was inborn, and he could no more have helped it than he could have helped his heartbeats.

Vincenzo was so nervous that he knocked a bottle down in the window, and I believe that my heartbeats were almost audible over the telephone which I was holding, for the police operator called me down for asking so many times if all was ready. "There it is the signal," cried Craig.
