"The last one sort of left me a little beat up, you know?"

Yet my need for the open drove me on at the end of his beat.

I give it a couple of beats then set out after them.

And was quickly off into the night, to patrol the rest of his beat.

How does my heart control the timing of its beat?

He has a collection of over 2,000 beats to his name.

When the car again appeared, the cop was well toward the other end of his beat.

Each bar usually has the same number of beats in it.

For a couple of beats, silence held the conference room.

I turned, and our eyes locked for a couple of beats.
