Would it be of service? Would it carry any message? Would it kindle in American homes some new light of truth, with the eyes of mothers and fathers fixed upon it, and innumerable children of the future the better for its shining? "Are you coming?" she called more quiveringly. "I am coming," he called back, breaking away from his revery, and raising his voice so it would surely reach her.
The sun, as yet, was only level with the tiled roof. The Kyrie Eleisons rang quiveringly through that sort of whitewashed stable with flat ceiling and bedaubed beams. On either side three lofty windows of plain glass, most of them cracked or smashed, let in a raw light of chalky crudeness. The free air poured in as it listed, emphasising the naked poverty of the God of that forlorn village.
Where am I? thought Beauchamp in what land, he would have phrased it, of whirlwinds catching the wits, and whipping the passions? Calmer than they, but unable to command them, and guessing that Renee's errand of the morning, by which he had lost hours of her, pertained to the glove, he said quiveringly, 'Madame la Marquise objects?
Sometimes she could no longer hear his steps and then she was quiveringly alert, listening, fearful that he might creep upon her like a panther. At times he kept the camp-fire blazing brightly; at others he let it die down. And these dark intervals were frightful for her. The night seemed treacherous, in league with her foe. It was endless.
She lifted her eyelids slowly oh, very, very slowly, glanced quiveringly at me, while the shadow of a smile fluttered round her lips. I verily believe the baggage exulted in her feminine heart. I turned away, leading the two animals, and picked up the parasol which I closed and restored to her. "I thought you wanted to cry," I remarked. "I can't," said Carlotta, plaintively.
George muttering something about foul play, as he offered the other a seat, and she felt that he entertained apprehensions. Had she seen Marlboro's arm raised quiveringly, while the lash of the riding-whip fell across the groom's face in a welt, as he dismissed him, she might have felt also a womanly fear that the apprehensions were not groundless.
First one little head drooped, then another, then the soft eyes closed, and the little lip said, quiveringly, "It is all dark; kiss us, dear mother;" and Mrs. Adrian was a childless widow. Dear children, God be praised that the world is not all a desert that there are hearts that feel, eyes that weep, and hands that minister to the sorrow-stricken.
Peter leaned over her with a drumming heart; he heard her catch her breath. "You don't care for Tump?" he asked with a dry mouth. She gasped out something, and the next moment Peter felt her body sink limply in his groping arms. They clung together closely, quiveringly.
She could only cling voicelessly to the support he had not denied her. He brought her to the settee and stood still. His face was strangely grim. "Well Toby?" he said. She twisted in his hold and faced him, but she kept his arm wound close about her, her hand tight gripped on his. "Are you angry with me for coming?" she asked him quiveringly. "I had to come." He looked down into her eyes.
He straightens, thrilled from the top of his rather beautiful filthy head to the soleless slippers with which he promenades in rain and frost: "Merci, Monsieur!" We cut him a piece. He takes it quiveringly, holds it a second as a king might hold and contemplate the best and biggest jewel of his realm, turns with profuse thanks to us and disappears....
