"It's going to be sort of coolish to-night," said Bill casually. It certainly was. I don't remember a chillier night in years. My teeth were chattering a little from cold before we turned in. I retired with all my clothes on, including my boots and leggings, and I wished I had brought along my ear muffs.
"I do not believe that Stark-Otter was much chillier when he pulled off his clothes and sat in a snow-bank." It turned out to be even more truthful than they imagined. They had little more than left the shore and ventured out upon the ice, when the gentle east wind developed into a gale, that presently wrapped them in the blinding folds of a snow-storm.
Dignity demanded reprisals, so he seated himself with his back to her; and the futile ocean raged towards them, and the wind grew chillier every minute. Time passed. Darkness fell. The little bay became a black cavern, dotted here and there with white, where the breeze whipped the surface of the water. Wilton sighed. It was lonely sitting there all by himself.
Hillyard was in two minds whether to go straight home, but in the end he wandered down to the summer seat of government. If Khartum had been chilly to the enthusiast, Alexandria was chillier. It was civil and polite to Hillyard and made him a member of the Club. But it was concerned with the government of Egypt, and gently allowed Hillyard to perceive it.
"I never heerd a skilful old married feller of twenty years" standing pipe "my wife" in a more used note than 'a did." said Jacob Smallbury. "It might have been a little more true to nater if't had been spoke a little chillier, but that wasn't to be expected just now. "That improvement will come wi' time." said Jan, twirling his eye.

Now he walked back, leaving the lights ablaze, and feeling as if the flat were empty. "I'll get out of this," he said to himself. Then the sheer loneliness of his situation rushed upon him in full. "Left me!" he muttered, and repeated, "left me!" The place that had been so comfortable, where he had spent so many days of warmth, was now a memory. Something colder and chillier confronted him.
The guns began to speak again among the hills that we dived into; the air grew chillier as we climbed; forest and wet rocks closed round us in the mist, to the sound of waters trickling alongside; there was a tang of wet fern, cut pine, and the first breath of autumn when the road entered a tunnel and a new world Alsace.

"Have you seen an iceberg?" "Yes, one floated down pretty near us going out the air was chillier and we found her glittering majesty was the cause of it." "Have you seen a whale?"
His long, regular breathing and the expression of his face, as peaceful as that of a little child, indicated It. The night grew chillier. The great stars remained pale and cold, and the forest continued to whine, as that strange, wandering breeze slipped through the leaves. Francisco Alvarez of the sunny plains wished that it would stop.
