Sentences with SWELLED (5)

Madly addicted to the drinking of water when he was hot, he had swelled in consequence to his present girth, and instead of reducing himself to fit his tree he had, unknown to the others, whittled his tree to make it fit him.
Peter Pan James M. Barrie 1991
She wanted to live and dream—a hundred years, forever! As long as this sweetness welled up in her heart, as long as her breast could hold this treasure of pain! She felt as the pond must feel when it held the moon like that; when it encircled and swelled with that image of gold.

Virginia Woolf To the Lighthouse
Of course not! I knew you would protect me. You swore that you were strong enough to protect Vivienne, didn’t you?
