He could feel the beat of her heart as she held him close.
She could not feel or hear the beat of her own heart.
Or what should a living man do without the beat of his heart?
How my heart beat as he came running across the field to me!
And with every beat of my heart, I wanted her to win it.
But nothing happened; she could not even hear her heart beat.
I could hear the beat of her heart against my ear.
And was not really surprised to find that he could no longer feel the beat of his heart.
Each beat of my heart, you could see the blood shooting out.
With every beat of her heart, she became more calm.
