indrawn

As sensible and focused as her neighbors are mercurial, Delia, in her indrawn way, is a pioneer.

“Respected Mr. Berezovsky,” says an initially indrawn, ferret-like Putin, “one would have to live on another planet not to know you!”

Arthur did not notice it, but I could hear the deep hiss of indrawn breath which is one of Van Helsing’s ways of betraying emotion.

He hears their indrawn breath as they lift what is left of her, holding her by her clothes; they are afraid the cloth will rip and their fingers touch her cooling flesh.

I hear the sound of indrawn breaths all around the room.
