"If you don't go I'll take you," said the skipper, and he was about to rise to put his threat into execution when a shadow fell across the opening, and a voice, which thrilled him to the core, said softly, "Jemmy!" "Yes 'm?" said Jemmy languidly, as the skipper flattened himself in his bunk and drew the clothes over him. "How do you feel?" inquired Mrs. Harbolt. "Bad all over," said Jemmy.
She had been far more disturbed about her husband's health than about the trial of Daniel Povey for murder, but her interest in the trial was of course tremendous. And this news, that it had actually begun, thrilled her. "Ay!" said Mr. Critchlow. "Didn't ye hear the Signal boy hollering just now all over the Square?" "No," said Constance. For her, newspapers did not exist.
He recited the verses on the card and the ladies all thrilled up at once, including Beryl Mae, who'd come in without her scarf. They just clenched their hands and hung on Wilfred's wild, free words.
At this interrogation, her features softened into an amazing expression of condescending love; and, while she darted a side glance that thrilled to his marrow, and heaved a sigh more soft than Zephyr's balmy wing, her answer was, "Why ay and heaven grant me patience to bear the humours of such a yoke-fellow."
And once, into her half-dreaming senses came the soft stirring of wings, and she opened her eyes and looked up, startled and thrilled. But it was only a pigeon which had come through the great window from the cote on the adjacent roof and which circled above her on whimpering wings for a moment and then sheered out into the sunlight.
When my first surprise had passed, I was charmed and delighted with the warm and comforting brightness around me, it rather reminded me of the electric brilliancy on the sails of the 'Dream. I moved away from the window, leaving it open, as the night was very close and warm, and sat down at the table to read a little, but after a few minutes laid the book aside to listen to a strange whispering music that floated towards me, apparently from the sea, and thrilled me to the soul.
The lover with one agonized glance saw the outspread arms of Justine Delande, and heard again a voice which had thrilled his soul in loving memory. It appealed for aid. Nadine was shrieking for help. With one glance, the young soldier gathered his noble steed.
Her envious feelings were lulled to temporary rest by the enjoyment of her own triumphs; for the young lordling seemed to be completely subjugated by her charms, and devoted himself exclusively to attendance upon her. The scheming beauty's heart thrilled with a sense of triumph.
There was a daughter, a strange product of such a home, a maiden with a pure simplicity of character and a heart that melted at the sight of pain. She had been used to soothe the anguish of those who had been scourged by her parents and to relieve the necessities of such as were put in bonds. Hence the abounding love felt for her by the slaves, the pity that thrilled them when her home was doomed.
"Grab in the top drawer," Blair hissed after her; and she put a shrinking hand into the japanned box, and "grabbed" all the bills she could hold; then, not waiting to close the drawer, she fled back to Blair. Up-stairs in her room, they counted the money. "We can travel all round the world!" Blair whispered, thrilled at the amount of their loot.
