Roger was sitting on the steps of the porch, Lee above him and several feet away, but could hear the young man swallow.

Roger, down in the chest, heard them, and was terrified.

"You've never done other than you had to," she said, so quietly that Roger could scarcely hear her.

Roger has heard of this, but he has never seen it.

Roger heard his own voice over the radio and was surprised by how calm he sounded.

Roger heard them, too; I saw his head turn toward the sound.

Ears still ringing from the roar of the gun, Roger had heard nothing.

He seemed to speak, but Roger heard nothing for the roar of blood in his ears.
