Confronted by his misery, it would have been impossible for her to be quite natural, and at the same time quite cheerful! A little later the social atmosphere of the flat began to grow querulous, disputatious and perverse. The nerves of everybody were seriously strained. This applied to the whole city. Days of heavy rains followed the sharp frosts, and the town was, as it were, sodden with woe.
The trip back was uneventful. Hanlon kept careful track of the time, and strained all his spaceman's senses properly to evaluate their speed.

She was passing through a fit of the cowardice peculiar to the tediously strained, who are being more than commonly tried persecuted, as they say when they are not supplicating their tyrannical Authority for aid.

Means had strained his back again and could no longer sit straight in the saddle. An old thorn wound in Loveless's foot needed attention. Horses, dogs, and oxen were entirely fagged out. And besides, the camera department demanded time to develop the earlier pictures, already too long kept in the rolls. Of course, as the Colonel maintained, the rains might come and the chance be lost.
Her whole life seemed upturned, full of discordant elements and strained relations. To bear Will's apparent indifference was not difficult, for she had been accustomed to that all her life; but to know that she was bound to him that he still loved her, and would carry with him his faith and trust in her, was a heavy burden.
"In this attitude were they, when Denis, with the eye of a hawk, spied a disadvantage in Grimes's position; he wheeled round, placed his broad shoulder against the shaggy breast of the other, and giving him what is called an 'inside crook, strained him, despite of every effort, until he got him off his shoulder, and off the point of resistance.
