"I should desire to see you once before I take a step that some have not considered more than commonly serious," came toward the conclusion; and the idea was toyed with till he signed his name. "A plunge into the deep is of little moment to one who has been stripped of all clothing. Is he not a wretch who stands and shivers still?"
Presently he spoke: "Those two girls are both clever, as clever as they make 'em, but Cary's cleverness is full of ozone, while Flora's is permeated with a narcotic. Cary's tricks make one laugh, but the other girl's give one the shivers." "Oh, is it as bad as that?" I said, in affright. "Don't you like her?" "Like her!" reflected the Angel, slowly. "I hate her." I gasped.
It was true that he did not quite know what he was going to do with her, and that even now, in the height of his admiration, he did wish that she would not walk as though she were treading on red-hot ploughshares, and that she could talk a little instead of giving little shivers of apprehension at every step. "I must say," he thought to himself, "she's rather silly in some ways.
Every few minutes he would rattle the thousand little spears in his coat, and though no one could see Reddy Fox and Shadow the Weasel inside the hollow log, every one could guess just how little shivers were running up and down the backbones of the two little scamps held prisoners there.
Exquisite shivers chilled his spine and stomach, and he looked at every policeman with intense innocence, as one who loved the law, and admired the Force, and longed to stop and play with them. He parked his car a block from Healey Hanson's saloon, worrying, "Well, rats, if anybody did see me, they'd think I was here on business."
When he found he couldn't it being locked so good there was no budging it he got worse jolted, and his breath seemed to be coming hard. The Hen got a-hold of him again and done some more shivers, and then she says: "It all will be over, one way or the other, in a very few moments now.
"Sort of gives a fellow the shivers, Hattie, seeing you kinda hidin' behind yourself like this. But I saw you come in the theater to-night. You looked right natural. Little heavier." "What do you want?" "Why, I guess a good many things in general and nothing in particular, as the sayin' goes. You don't seem right glad to see me, honey."
No, I ain't sorry for myself because I was a fool." "Mrs. Sommers," said Betty, "will you please step out of my way?" "Honey, for heaven's sake think a minute before you go down and face that man. He's dangerous. When I opened the door and seen him, I tell you the shivers went up my back." "Is he thin? Is he pale?" cried Betty Neal. "How did he get away? Did he escape? Did they parole him?
Shivers's socialism with a deeply-rooted native individualism that Shivers declared as defunct as Christianity. "If it is possible for the workingman to rise under a capitalistic system, why do you not rise, then? Why do I not rise? I'm as good as Ditmar, I'm better educated, but we're all slaves. What right has a man to make you and me work for him just because he has capital?"
Tear these away, how the poor heart shivers in its nakedness. She was alone. It no longer mattered where she lived, for her alliances henceforth were only of the spirit. She must find some sphere in which she could create for herself a new activity, for to sit in idleness was to invite dread assaults.
