And there was a certain something in the sound of them that assured her that they rose in the house. Was Sarah being murdered? She was half-way down the stairs before the thought that sent her was plain to herself. The house seemed unnaturally still. At the top of the kitchen stairs she called aloud to Sarah as loud, that is, as a certain tremor in her throat would permit. There came no reply.
I was sorely worried by the black dog this morning, that vile palpitation of the heart that tremor cordis that hysterical passion which forces unbidden sighs and tears, and falls upon a contented life like a drop of ink on white paper, which is not the less a stain because it conveys no meaning.

"I was just speaking to one of these fool horses. They seem to be as nervous as you are." And we could hear him chuckle over this last remark.
Behind them came the woman, and now upon her face there was only a look of peace. The distracted gaze had gone from her eyes, and she listened without a tremor to the voices of the wailers behind. Twenty yards from the lake, Dicky called a halt Dicky, not the Mudir. The soldiers came forward and put heavy chains and a ball upon the woman's ankles.
The earth shook; a tremor ran through the Jasper B.; the glasses leaped and rang upon the table. Cleggett, followed by Lady Agatha, darted up the companionway.

At length, however, Ripa arrived, and the first question that was put to him was: 'What had he done with his rival? which he answered by inquiring if the Spaniard was not come. But although he endeavoured to appear unconcerned, there was a tremor in his voice and a confusion of manner that excited general observation.
