"Go at once to bed," said Ludwig, when he had conducted his charge to the door of her room. "Cover yourself up well, and if you feel chilly I will make you a cup of camomile tea." All children have such a distaste for this herb tea that it was not to be wondered at if Marie declared she did not feel in the least chilly, and that she would go at once to bed. But she did not sleep well.
I hope you have left all snug with the tower at Cullerne; this wind will not spare any weak places." "I don't think it should do any mischief at Saint Sepulchre's," Westray answered, half unconsciously. It seemed as though he could not concentrate his thought even upon his work. His bedroom was large, and chilly in spite of a bright fire.
I saw it on a perfect day. The Indian summer lingered, as though unwilling that the chilly blasts of winter should blight the loveliness of this beauteous scene. The gloom of autumn was not there, but its glories were on every leaf and twig.
Once a shower of rain, accompanied by a slight flurry of wind, set him to trembling, as he remembered the fury of the squalls in those latitudes. He felt that his frail shallop would never live through one. Though in the tropics, he became chilly as the night advanced, while the pain of hunger was but partially eased by the drafts of water of which he still partook from time to time.
"Well, then, just to the bend," agreed Betty, indicating a spot where the river made a turn, about a mile away. "We'll skate along," suggested Allen. "It is a bit chilly, and the exercise will be good for us. Get ready girls. I'm sorry we haven't a pistol to fire." "This will do!" exclaimed Will, producing a paper bag. "It had chocolates in," he added with a sly look at his sister.
But I had reached Twenty-eighth Street, without seeing any place that appealed to me, when a little groom, in a warm fur collar and chilly white breeches, ran up beside me and touched his hat. I was so surprised that I saluted him in return, and then felt uneasily conscious that that was not the proper thing to do, and that forever I had lost his respect.

No, I won't be a humbug; that wasn't the cold. It was sheer fright cowardice and I should have felt just the same if I had had a blanket over me. The brutes! There is something so horrible about it.
"He asked for you and not for mademoiselle, who has gone to her own garden." Mademoiselle hurried into the library. The arrival of the abbe at this moment seemed providential, though the explanation of it was simple enough. "I came," he said, looking at her keenly, "on a fool's errand. I came to ask whether the ladies were afraid." Mademoiselle gave a chilly smile.
It was possible for those pushed against the wall, or against the chains of the bridge that had been let down an hour ago, to look down into the chilly water of the moat; to see not the silhouette only of the huge fortress, but the battlements of the wall, and now and again a steel cap and a pike-point pass beyond it as the sentry went to and fro. Noises within the Castle grew more frequent.
The gravity of Miss Ringgan's face casts a gloom over the brightness of the evening. I couldn't conceive what made me feel chilly in the other room till I looked about and found that the shade came from this corner; and Mr. Thorn's teeth, I saw, were chattering."
