But nicknames, on the other hand, sparkle and flash; they bring the man himself vividly and palpitatingly before you; and without more introduction or ado, you know him at once for what he is. That is the reason why we prefer to be called by our real names.
For these reasons and for various others, too Polly felt irate with the man in the corner, and told him so with her eyes, as plainly as any pair of brown eyes can speak.

On that second occasion, when she had opened the door and palpitatingly climbed to the loft, the second batch of children were finishing their midday meal, rather more joyously, she thought, than before, and Insall himself was stooping over a small boy whom he had taken away from the table.

Their heads droop, and all their communication is a rare, horrid croak.
I heard some time ago of your engagement to Calderwell. I've tried many times to say the proper, expected pretty speeches, but I couldn't. I will now, though. I do.

His caged brute of a temper offered opportunities for delicious petting; the sweetest a woman can bestow: it lifts her out of timidity into an adoration still palpitatingly fearful.
