He did not dare now to come home drunk, and though he rejoiced in his return to high morality and spoke with gravity to Pete and Fulton Bemis about their drinking, he prickled at Myra's unexpressed criticisms and sulkily meditated that a "fellow couldn't ever learn to handle himself if he was always bossed by a lot of women." He no longer wondered if Tanis wasn't a bit worn and sentimental.
He lay for at least a minute or two flat upon the ground behind the great stone, while the perspiration rolled from his face and his hair prickled at the roots. He could never learn to be unconcerned when a dozen or fifteen riflemen were shooting at him.
As it passed a twisted pine, Wentworth got a good look into his face, and the sight of it sent cold shivers up his spine that prickled uncomfortably at the roots of his hair.

It'd be the same thing. He'd be the real king. If he'd just show himself, it might stop all the fighting. Just read." Marco read, and his skin prickled as the blood went racing through his body.

A case of nerves? Aye, I had nerves. Most sailormen had nerves when they were within sight of Captain Swope.
