"As if they had been one man as if their four hearts had pulsated in one breast." "You pique my curiosity, dear Rochefort; pray tell me the whole story." "That is impossible; but I will tell you a true story, my lord." "Pray do so, I delight in stories," cried the cardinal. "Listen, then," returned Rochefort, as he spoke endeavoring to read in that subtle countenance the cardinal's motive.
Elwood was quiescent, for he know whose hand held him upon those brawny shoulders, and he felt that the moccasined foot which touched the earth so lightly was too sure to miss its hold, and the heart throbbing within that dusky bosom pulsated too powerfully with the common humanity of our nature ever to falter or hesitate in its work of love.
"For some minutes my heart pulsated painfully, and then as the sound of its throbbing grew fainter and fainter, I heard a curious noise outside my room someone was ascending the stairs. I endeavoured to rise, but could not fear, an awful, ungovernable fear, held me spellbound. The steps paused outside the door, the handle of which was gently turned.

As he took his place at the wheel, the machine pulsated like a living thing, panting with a passionate desire to be off. Laurie's wild young heart felt the same longing, but his year in New York had taught him respect for its traffic laws and this was no time to take chances.
