They were great people for sighing, Mollie thought. It must be rather miserable to be homesick so very, very far away from home! When Prudence and Grizzel, accompanied by the boys, all not a little anxious about Mollie, arrived at home for dinner they found not only the missing Mollie but also Mr. John Smith on the balcony.
For it was he himself who had been shouting. "Oh devil!" whispered Yozhov, and gnashed his teeth. Foma quietly lifted his head from the pillow. Yozhov deeply and noisily sighing, again stretched out his hand toward the bottle. Then Foma said to him softly: "Let's go to some hotel. It isn't late yet." Yozhov looked at him, and, rubbing his head with his hands, began to laugh strangely.
Perhaps we'll have a rest now, and he'll quit sighing after the same. But they look fine and dandy, too."

To all this Miss Silence answered only by sighing and moaning, For two whole days she had been kept in constant fear and worry, afraid every minute of some tragical message, perplexed by the conflicting advice of all manner of officious friends, sleepless of course through the two nights, and now utterly broken down and collapsed.
A few old warehouses here and there marked the spots where in times gone by fine goods had been stored. As they stood with broken windows and open doors sighing and creaking in the wind, they appeared like living creatures who had fallen from conditions of plenty, and were now, in their hunger, bemoaning the loss of the abundance which once had filled them.
The princess threw herself that night it was St. John's night into the lake; and now every year on St. John's night, between twelve and one o'clock, a bridge of copper rises out of the lake, and the princess appears upon it, sighing for her deliverance.
I have trampled my pride under foot, for your happiness and my reputation were at stake." "Are you talking of the diamonds? Poor boy, he wept; he did not want them; I have them." "Sleep now, my child. We will talk business when we wake for," she added, sighing, "you and I have business now; another person has come between us."
