No wonder the American playwright is uneasy. He ought to be. He is the more uneasy because he realizes that the theatre presents a special incitement and a special problem a problem altogether different from that presented by the bookstall, for instance. The play, once produced, is open to all the world.
We found it difficult to inspire him with confidence; he at last consented to guide us to the farm of the Cayman, but without slackening the gentle trot of his horse. Our guides assured us that "they had already begun to be uneasy about us;" and, to justify this inquietude, they gave a long enumeration of persons who, having lost themselves in the Llanos, had been found nearly exhausted.
"Oh, all the troubles of all people on the face of the earth," said Dorothea, lifting her arms to the back of her head. "Dear me, Dodo, are you going to have a scheme for them?" said Celia, a little uneasy at this Hamlet-like raving.
Which are we to consider as the true index of his mind? Pain, languor, shadowy remembrances, are the uneasy inmates there: his lips move mechanically! There are people that we do not like, though we may have known them long, and have no fault to find with them, 'their appearance, as we say, is so much against them.

A man of magnificent genius and knowledge, he was but little understood during his life, and it was only when his uneasy spirit was at rest that the world recognized his greatness. Paris, that stoned him when he was living, now listens to his grand music with enthusiasm.
She looked wonderingly at him, for she had felt that she must comfort him, and she looked not for this sudden change in his manner.

"After danger and busy days, to be merely safe, it is scarce the life for Michel de la Foret.
The children were glad when it was settled this year that they were to go on the first day of the pleasure fair, for they had an uneasy fear that if they waited till the second all the best things would be bought from the stalls and booths. They set out therefore in very good spirits, under the care of Nurse, and Jane the nursery-maid, to walk from Easney to Cheddington, which was about a mile.
But gradually the sense of complete subjugation came over her, and she wondered languidly what had made her feel so uneasy and excited. She saw now that there was nothing to be excited about she had returned to her normal view of life. Tomorrow would not be so difficult after all: she felt sure that she would have the strength to meet it.
His gyrations, as he bobbed about under the uneasy motions of the vessel, gave him a ludicrous appearance, which even the positive expression of suffering on his face did not essentially mitigate. He had evidently come to a realizing sense of the perils of the sea, and was a pitiful sight to behold. "Man the foresail outhaul!" shouted Terrill, through his trumpet. "Mr. Martyn!"
However, I believe there is no fear that Great Britain will puzzle us, by leaving it in our choice to hasten or delay a treaty. Is insurance made on Houdon's life? I am uneasy about it, lest we should hear of any accident. As yet there is no reason to doubt their safe passage. If the insurance is not made, I will pray you to have it done immediately.
