We hear you in the parlour every night, and it makes my heart ache. 'Oh, ma'am, says I, 'I'm a miserable sinner, and I'm travailing in the new birth. 'Was that the reason, says she, 'why the pudding was so heavy to-day? 'Oh, ma'am, ma'am, said I, 'if you would not think of the things of the flesh, but trouble yourself about your immortal soul. And I sat a-shaking my head to think about her soul.
And, sir, while he was a-tearing right down through those snags, and I a-shaking in my shoes and praying, I wish I may never speak again if he didn't pucker up his mouth and go to WHISTLING! Yes, sir; whistling "Buffalo gals, can't you come out tonight, can't you come out to-night, can't you come out to-night;" and doing it as calmly as if we were attending a funeral and weren't related to the corpse.
I thought it best not to show him, you see, if it could be helped; for he's a-shaking all over, like Blight's simile is perhaps inspired by the surrounding dishes of sweets 'like Glue Monge. 'Sharp boy again, returns Eugene. 'I'll go to him.
He was no sooner gone than the host fell a-shaking his head, and declared, if he had suspected the fellow had no money, he would not have drawn him a single drop of drink, saying he despaired of ever seeing his face again, for that he looked like a confounded rogue.
Only at a bird, do you say? he heaved out in a voice of thunder. 'I see your shoulders a-shaking, young madam. Now don't you provoke me with that laughing! By God, it won't do! 'Then go away! said Anne, changed from mirthfulness to irritation by his rough manner. 'I don't want your company, you great bragging thing! You are so touchy there's no bearing with you. Go away!
Dear, dear, I'm a-shaking, but I 'a' done a nice little bit, and it's past three o'clock. I'll go to bed. The doctor spoke a deal about rest; I didn't mind him much. He was all wrong about the pain, but perhaps he were right about the rest, so I'll go straight to bed."
I set down again, a-shaking all over, and got out my pipe for a smoke; for the house was all as still as death now, and so the widow wouldn't know. Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom boom boom twelve licks; and all still again stiller than ever. Pretty soon I heard a twig snap down in the dark amongst the trees something was a stirring. I set still and listened.
Down went his guns on the ground all in a clatter; and he was scared so limp he'd a-gone down a-top of 'em if the Hen hadn't got a good grip on him with both arms. They stood that way more'n a minute, with him a-shaking all over and the Hen doing some shaking for company and then she hiked him round so he pointed right and says: "Look! Look! There by those little bushes! Oh how horrible!"
To-morrow by this time they will be a-hanging o' themselves round about your neck, and a-askin' of your pardon, and kissin' of you." "No, Jem, no." "Well, I don't mean as your uncle will be kissin' of you, of course; but he'll be sorry too, and a-shaking of your hand." Don shook his head. "There, don't get wagging your head like a Chinee figger, my lad. Take it like a man."
We shall be just a-shivering and a-shaking, and a-starving with cold, and short of grub on that 'ere hill; and the Rooshians will be comfortable in the town a-laughing at us. Don't tell me, Mr. Archer; my opinion is, these 'ere soldiers are no better than fools. They don't seem to have no common sense." "I hope it's not as bad as all that, Dick," Jack laughed.
