Yet as the men sank down to rest on the line of battle, so exhausted that they could not be awakened to eat their rations; as the blood cooled and the tension on the nerves relaxed, and even the officers, faint with hunger and sickened with the awful slaughter, looked forward with apprehension to the morrow, from one indomitable heart the hope of victory had not yet vanished.
Tatsu was the first to move. The reaction of excitement was creeping upon him, drawing the sting from pain. He turned toward his visitor and began to study, with an impersonal curiosity, the aspect of the pathetic figure. Kano was sitting, utterly relaxed, at the edge of the cane-bottomed foreign chair His head hung forward, and his lids were closed.
Every muscle was relaxed in that restfulness which next to sleep is the surest restorer of exhausted vitality. But the brain, the most acute and cunning brain in France, was awake.
His hold was relaxed while falling. Quincy doubled his legs up, put both feet against Bob's stomach, gave him a violent kick, and Bob was once more upon his back. "'Twarn't fair," he yelled. "I had him down first." "We weren't playing for points," said Quincy, "and everything's fair in rough and tumble. If you want some more, I'm ready." Bob stood sullenly, but made no move forward.

He had hoped they would stay in London for at least one night, but only two hours were allowed between the time they reached Euston from the time the train was due to leave Waterloo. Discipline was somewhat relaxed during the journey, and when at length Tom entered the train at Waterloo he noticed that many of the men were the worse for drink.
The divided administration which had been formed by Constantine, relaxed the vigor of the state, while it secured the tranquillity of the monarch. The memory of Constantine has been deservedly censured for another innovation, which corrupted military discipline and prepared the ruin of the empire.
"You saw no flash?" "None." "Neither did I," groaned Harley; "neither did I. And short of throwing a cordon round the hills what can be done? How can I move?" He had somewhat relaxed, but now as I continued to clutch his arm, I felt the muscles grow rigid again. "Look, Knox!" he whispered "look!"
While Dalgard willed his body motionless, the merman lay relaxed upon the ground before him as he might have floated upon his beloved waves in some secluded cove. His brilliant eyes were closed.
