The effort seemed more than she could bear. But she kept up her part, rallying Heron for the shortness of his visit, begging him to tarry for another five minutes at least, throwing out with subtle feminine intuition just those very hints anent little Capet's safety that were most calculated to send him flying back towards the Temple.
Bennett's dress hardly reached below her knees, and although her skirts were fringed about the bottom it was of a kind that had not been adopted as yet in general circle of either Spanish-American or good United States society. The shortness of the dress made the curious raw-hide moccasins only the more prominent, and the whole make-up of the party was a curious sight.
Thus shortness of breath is regularly noted toward the end of pregnancy, and, as has already been mentioned, it is one of the reasons for exercising leisurely. Unlike the other pressure symptoms, shortness of breath is ordinarily aggravated by the recumbent posture, for lying flat on the back increases the compression of the chest.

Besides, he had, it seems, a weakness in his voice, a perplexed and indistinct utterance and a shortness of breath, which, by breaking and disjointing his sentences, much obscured the sense and meaning of what he spoke.
At length the shortness of breath startles him; the stoppage of blood alarms him. Then he retires to receive what? To receive from nature that which he has given to nature.
