Don't seem like it can be true sure 'nough that Milltown people like muther and me can be goin' to a place like that. My stomach is quiverin' this minute in little chills from hearin' 'bout it. I reckon it will take 'till next week to get used to the feel of the thought.
'Listen here, an' take a grip on that screamin' woman's tongue o' yours. It don't matter whether he saw you 'r didn't see you, 'cause he won't live t' tell it. 'Oh, Heaven! Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! I didn't mean that I swear to Heaven, I on'y meant to stun him! 'I know yer didn't. Pull yerself together, you quiverin' idiot. D'ye think I meant to do murder? 'No, no, no; o' course not.
She jest stood lookin' at that quilt and the blue ribbon on it, and her eyes was full o' tears and her lips quiverin', and then she started off and brought the children in to look at 'Mammy's quilt. She met Sam on the way out, and says she: 'Sam, what do you reckon? My quilt took the premium. And I believe in my soul Sam was as much pleased as Sarah Jane.
He's got such a kind of a questionin' look on his face, and there's a bit of a stoop to his shoulders like they had been whittled out for carryin' a load, and there's a kind of a whimsy quiverin' around his lips that makes me heart stand still every time he speaks to me, because I can't be certain whether he is going to make me laugh or going to make me cry, and when what he's sayin' does come with that little slow drawl, I can't be just sure whether he's meanin' it or whether he's jist pokin' fun at me.
In the faces of them weepin', waitin' wimmen is depictered the very height and depth of sorrow. You can't see the face of one on 'em, but her poster gives the impression of absolute grief and loss. The quiverin' lips seems formin' the words "Farwell, farwell, best beloved." Deathless love shines through the eyes streamin' with tears.
"'No man, Sir Duke Lawless, answered I. 'And no man ever could, save him that used to write me of you from the heart of Australia; only there was no Sir to your name then. "'I've come to that since, said he. "'Oh, tell me, I cried, with a quiverin' at my heart, 'tell me, is he livin'? "And he replied: 'I left him in the Pipi Valley of the Rocky Mountains a year ago.
There they lie chained to their dark tombs by links slight at first, but twisted by the hard old fingers of blind habit, to chains of iron, chains linked about, and eatin' into, not only the quiverin' flesh, but the frenzied brains, the hope less hearts, the ruined souls.
I sprang to my feet, too frightened to speak. Instantly there was an arm around my neck an' a kiss upon my cheek, an' I heard neighbor King say, with a happy laugh, "It's only me, Miranda. I find I'm here as soon as my letter." "I thought, you might not be comin' back," I whispered, with quiverin' lips. "Why, my darling, I've come back for you," he said, bendin' over an' kissin' me again.
Her eyes flew wide open aw at onct, an' she seed me an' smiled, aw her dear face quiverin' i' death. "'Dear lad, she whispered, 'th' path was na so long after aw. Th' Lord knew He trod it hissen' onct, yo' know. I knowed tha'd come I prayed so. I've reached th' very eend now, Tim, an' I shall see th' little lad first. But I wunnot forget my promise no.
Handsome as a picture she was; there ain't a girl in this town to-day that can compare with her; but her head was up, an' her nose quiverin', an' her eyes shinin'. I knew she liked me pretty well, but, Lord, it was no use! Might as well have set a blooded mare to ploughin'. She was one of the sort that wouldn't have bent under hardship; she'd have broke.
