He offered it to his friend, who was lighting his cigarette, and said, bitterly, "This is the only hospitality I have now to offer!" The tone of his voice startled me it was full of utter despair, and I saw that his lips quivered as he spoke. I could not bear to see him suffer like that another second. "Bey Effendi!" I cried, "your son is saved!"
He lay there, listening to the noises in the street, quite tranquilly; not caring much how the time went, but watching it, and watching everywhere about him with observing eyes. When the sunbeams struck into his room through the rustling blinds, and quivered on the opposite wall like golden water, he knew that evening was coming on.
But Spike's eyes were wet, his mouth quivered, and instead of answering he buried his face in the pillow again. "Say, Hermy," he mumbled, "take him away before I do th' tear-gushin' act! Take him down-stairs give him a drink light him a cigarette kiss him! Only take him away before I get mushy. But, say when I'm in bed, you'll you'll come an' say good night like like you used to, Hermy dear?"
The next day was an outrage upon men and horses both. The heat quivered in the air every where. In the canons we almost smothered in the baking atmosphere.

"You must leave me to manage my own life and my own affairs." Lady Coryston's features quivered in her long bony face. As she sat near the window, on a high chair, fully illumined, in a black velvet dress, long-waisted, and with a kind of stand-up ruffle at the throat, she was amazingly Queen Bess.

She paused a moment on the step, gazed around with a bewildered air, and shot a startled glance into the honest, eager face of the little man, who quivered from head to foot as he met her gaze.
His head trembled with agony, and his body quivered from head to foot as at times he murmured to himself something which he appeared to be debating. Every moment I expected to see him go out of his mind.
D'ye dare, ye rogue? D'ye know who I am? And don't wag that pistol, my fine fellow! Be off, now! Away with you!" Mr. Green looked his name. The rosiness was all departed from his cheeks; he quivered with suppressed wrath. "If I go giving way to constraint what shall you say to my Lord Carteret?" he asked. "What concern may that be of yours, sirrah? "It will be some concern of yours, my lord."
They had hardly gone to bed when a gale started to rage as though it would carry the house along with it. The bed-stead quivered, and the chimney-stack rattled as if there were goblins in it.
