Kate Gompert in the psych ward
The patient Ms. Gompert seemed both to be fighting for breath and to be breathing rapidly enough to induce hypocapnia; the doctor could not be expected not also to notice that she had fairly large breasts that rose and fell rapidly inside the circle of arms with which she hugged her knees.
Context
Suicidal Kate hugging her knees: the body self-enclosed in a circle of its own arms.
