out of one's mind

hovering between life and death(be half dead and half alive)

fickleness of human friendships

personally to go through a sittuation

with a murderous look on one's face

die in one's boots(die an unnatural (or a violent)death)

deny stoutly

The luck has turned in one's favour.

The inferiors imitate the superiors

change one's mind constantly

cause a great clamour

prefer honour to life

perky(ride high; set up one's comb)

be carried away with

pay no attention to a familiar sight

fight a quick battle to force a speed decision(make quick work of)

incapable of resistance

die in bed of old age

make carping comments(make irresponsible remarks)

talk big(boast; exaggerate)
