She had to set the knife down twice to rest her hand, but at last she felt the rope give.

She picked at the knot with her fingers, until after what seemed hours, but was probably about five minutes, I felt the rope give.

Willem and I were looking to see that the ropes had not given way.

I knew what he was going to do before I felt the ropes give at my ankles.

And at just about the same time I felt the rope give.
