The pitiful groans from all sides and the torturing pain in his thigh, stomach, and back distracted him.
Only among the back rows of the people, who were all pressing toward the one spot, could sighs, groans, and the shuffling of feet be heard.
The shed became semidark, and the sharp rattle of the drums on two sides drowned the sick man's groans.
The shrieks of the women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable.
It is a parade of wild animals Our world is now a pitiful weakling It groans with the burden of an elephant corpse !
