On the peak of one of its gables a little song sparrow, head tilted back and body a-tremble, trilled forth an ecstasy of song. "Isn't it be-yoo-tiful?" sighed Hinpoha, her artistic soul delighting in the lovely scene before her. "I wonder what that house is for?" "I don't know," replied Sahwah, equally enchanted. "There's another house behind it, farther up on the hill."
Lady O'Moy checked her tears to look at her companion, and there was dread in her eyes. "You have spoken to Lord Wellington?" "Yes. The opportunity came, and I took it." "And whatever did you tell him?" She was all a-tremble now, as she clutched Miss Armytage's hand.
Almost immediately afterward, his body is a-tremble, his face either reddens or grows "ashy white," his appetite is gone; such is the effect of the mind upon the stomach that it literally refuses the food; if forced upon it, it may reject it entirely. A message is delivered to a lady. She is in a genial, happy mood.
At the time when this regulation was made I was painting young Prince Bariatinski's portrait, and he had acceded to my request that he come without powder. One day he arrived pale as death. "What is the matter with you?" I asked him. "I have just met the Emperor," he replied, all a-tremble, "I barely had time to hide in a doorway, but I am terribly afraid that he recognised me."
For the ducal temper was no respecter of presences. Then a title was a title to those born lower, and the young man plainly had a vast honour for a coronet. "I beg your Grace's pardon," said he. "Who the deuce is he?" demanded the duke petulantly of Mr. Manners, thereby setting the poor little man all a-tremble. "Why, why, " he replied, searching for his spyglass.
He had got down another book, and was running his finger rapidly down the page his finger all a-tremble with excitement. Suddenly, he stopped with a little cry of triumph. "Here it is, messieurs! I knew I could not be mistaken! See!"
Then Beltane drank also, and gave the cup to Winfrida: but, even as he did so, the Duchess uttered a cry and pointed with hand a-tremble: "O Beltane, the moon the moon that was so bright and glorious 'tis gone, the cloud hath blotted it out! Ah, Beltane, what doth this portend? Why do I tremble thus because the moon is gone?"
"This doesn't often happen any more and they know, good and well, I make it up to them in other ways," returned Rose truthfully. For answer, he crossed over to her quickly, reached down and took the baby from her. "What are you going to do with him?" she demanded, a-tremble with rage and a sense of impotent helplessness, as, avoiding her quick movement, Martin went into the bedroom.
Who?" she demanded, and her face gleamed white. "Hush, lass! You're all a-tremble," he returned, warily, and he held her hands. "Ben, they're pressing me hard to set another wedding-day. Dad is angry with me now. Jack has begun again to demand. Oh, I'm afraid of him! He has no respect for me. He catches at me with hands like claws.
And all did now be a-tremble, together in her heart; and I knew that I did be truly an hero to her, though but usual to all others. And my heart was wondrous proud and wondrous humble, so that I was in the same moment upraised and to feel dreadly unworthy.
