Rally on the guidon! Rally on the reserve!" The old chaplain stuck his pipe into his mouth and brought it aflare again with two or three strong indrawing respirations. "The surgeons said it would end in a case of dementia. I was sorry, for I had seen much that day that hurt me, and more than all was this.
"You don't seem too sure of it, Carstairs," Cumshaw remarked, with a sidelong glance at Moira. "No more I am," I told him. "I don't like our chances either." "But," he protested with a puzzled indrawing of his eyebrows, "as far as we're concerned it's as easy as falling off a log." "Just as easy," I agreed, "providing our friends the enemy don't interfere.
Max did not see how or whence she arrived, but he heard the rustling and indrawing of breaths that heralded her coming. And then she was there, in the square left open for the dancing. All the light in the room seemed to focus upon her, so did she scintillate from head to foot with spangles.
But as they came slowly up the dim aisle under the arches of Christmas greens, their wide, flowing sleeves falling back from their arms, they made her think of two of Fra Angelico's trumpet-blowing angels, and she clasped her hands with a quick indrawing of breath.
My feet get so tired, and you know how to rest them so nicely. Thank you, Hedwig."

Nevertheless, from a purely personal point of view, I am glad that the skipper intends to test his theory, because it will afford me the opportunity to shift myself and my party into one of the ships of the slave-squadron, some one of which we are pretty certain to fall in with before long." "Ah!" remarked the general, with a curious indrawing of his breath.
He was still standing close to her, so close that she felt the warmth of his body, heard the sharp indrawing of his breath. For one sick second she thought he would snatch her to him; but the second passed and he had not moved. "Shall we go?" he said again. "And I say, can you put me up? I don't care where I sleep.
