Sorry, sorry, sorry, but in my seemingly totally vain efforts to promote 'correct' usage of the English language, can I just point out that that should be '
bated' breath.
'Baited' breath suggests to me that you ate some cheese and then lay on the floor, mouth agape, waiting for a mouse to run into it (and if that is what you meant, by the way, my sincerest apologies!).
