To indulge her, as it seemed, he slowly drew the richly hilted dagger from his girdle. "Let that serve you, then," he said; and carelessly he tossed it down beside her. With a quick indrawn breath she pounced upon it.
The sounds of the duel, the shuddering reluctance of the indrawn breath, the moan that told of its enlargement, these things, and the motionless open eyes which seemed to say, Look! Body and soul are fighting, and we can only watch! turned him helpless, as we all are in actual audience of death.
"What!" cried Glanville, in a loud tone, which he instantly checked, and continued in an indrawn, muttered whisper: "How long is it since I heard that name! and now now " he broke off abruptly, and then said, with a calmer voice, "I know not how you have learnt her name; perhaps you will explain?" "From Thornton," said I.
The girls gave a cry of alarm as they saw a jack rabbit that had been startled, bound ahead of them for a few yards, then with a wild jump it landed in the shelter of the sage brush.

The silence, heavy and pregnant, was broken by the shuffling of feet.

That first long whiff was like the indrawn breath of the cold, starved hunter, when, stepping into his house, he sees food, fire, and wife on his hearthstone.

May the waves bear us safely to the arms of those who love us. Yours ever, DAWN." During the voyage home, Dawn was too indrawn to converse much with her father.
