He waited for Captain Plessy to speak. Captain Plessy, however, was in no hurry to begin. He had completely lost his air of contemptuous raillery, he was measuring Faversham warily with the eyes of a connoisseur. "You have insulted me," he said abruptly, and he heard again that indrawing of the breath which he had remarked that afternoon in the cellar.
At this there was commotion among the Indians. A hurried consultation took place, with indrawing of canoes under the flambeaux, waving arms, and angry gestures. "Then, M'sieu, we come, make way!" It was DesCaut, important and ugly. "No, ye don't, me lad. Shwing back The Little Devil, bhoys!"
But the clatter was unintentional though Miss Ethel would not have believed this and was due to a small piece of needlework on the table which caused the cup and glass to stand unevenly on the tray. Caroline heard the sharp indrawing of Miss Ethel's breath on the way to the door, and her whole being was in a prickly heat of defiance and embarrassment "Only wait until to-morrow morning!
The butterfly-wing flutter of her lashes against his cheek as she pressed the softness of her own closer, and the quick exquisite indrawing of her tender, half-sobbing childish breath were unspeakably lovely answering things though he heard her whisper. "Yes, Donal! Donal!" And again, "Donal! Donal!" And he held her closer and kissed her very gently again.
But if this quick change means that you are staying with any idea that that I shall change, then then you must go. But if you will stay as WILLIAM'S BROTHER then I'll be more than glad to have you."

"Yes, quite," answered Dick, with a quick indrawing of the breath; for now that it came to the point he suddenly found that to submit himself unreservedly to the hands of even his friend Humphreys, for the purposes of an experiment that smacked rather strongly of the uncanny, was something of a nerve-trying experience.
Thunderous applause greeted him when he set his foot upon the sands of the arena. The panther did not move. It had even ceased to snarl, but its sinewy tail beat a dull tattoo upon the ground. Then over the whole arena there rose a curious sound, like the sighing of two hundred thousand souls, an indrawing of the breath in two hundred thousand throats.
Aunt Olivia caught the indrawing of her breath and saw her face. Then Aunt Olivia discovered it, and a delicate color overspread her thin cheeks and rose to her temples. Now what was the child "Rhoda is a great skipper," the minister's wife said, hurriedly. But it was the wrong thing she knew it was the wrong thing.
With a quick indrawing of the breath he grasped the hilt of his dagger and turned to face the advancing figure. Shall anyone thus ruin all, at the eleventh hour? His nerves became as if made of steel, all signs of indecision vanish; face to face with danger he becomes once more the hardened veteran who has met unflinchingly the fierce charge of the foemen in the Lowcountry.
