Within the darkness the other rhythm quickened.

His rhythm quickened and his stroking became more shallow.

Then, as the afternoon continued, the rhythm quickened.

As the rhythm quickens, they perform acrobatics and form human pyramids.

The rhythm of the drums quickened.

The rhythm quickened; the room filled with arcana: Whitaker Chambers.

The driving rhythm of his hips quickened.

His rhythm quickened and she clung, her fingernails marking his back.

The rhythm quickened, and then Ile Aiye set off on a 12-mile march, which ended in the center of town six hours later.
