Then he retired from the room, listening outside the door till he heard sounds of heavy, stertorous breathing. At that moment, the contempt of the Chinese for the dominant race was even greater than Rivers' contempt for the inferior one. When the proprietor's breathing had assumed reassuring proportions, Liu opened the door cautiously, and stepped lightly into the room.
Reluctantly Pedro went away. Soon he was back with news of a suitable place. He found all bending closer over Yuara, whose breathing had become stertorous and whose eyes seemed fixed. "Going!" was the bushman's thought. But the others would not have it so. "How 'bout a shot o' booze to jolt his heart, Cap?" suggested Tim, whose whole soul was in the fight. McKay nodded.

Tootles had once said that the only people she ever saw in the shop were pressing creditors. A colored woman of bulbous proportions and stertorous breathing was giving a catlick to the dirty stairway.
