Indrawings of breath
Hi
A woman was talking to a man and he said something which she didn't like. He was mocking at her.
The tone of his humorous indulgence was the last straw.
Suddenly, to her dismay, she found herself crying, helplessly,
hopelessly, crying with such streaming tears and
harsh indrawings of breath as she had not known in all her
adult days.
I understand that she was inhaling violently?
