Carl shivered, partly with prickling terror, partly with real cold.
He caught no words, but he became aware that a queer excitement tingled through his veins. At the roots of his hair there was an odd, prickling sensation. He could give himself no reason, but some instinct of danger rang in him like a bell. The low bass and the light high treble they reached him alternately, cutting into each other, overriding each other, clashing in agitated dissent.
The air vibrated with the enormous speed of the valve wheels, and there was a prickling sensation as the power flowed into the positive and negative plates, by which the projectile was moved through space.

A million prickling needles were at my elbow. A band as of steel tightened about my breast. I grew hot and cold, and trembled.

"Catch hold!" he panted; and choking, staggering, suffocating, we dragged it into the outer room.
He was used to solitude, but this was a loneliness that touched some deep-buried instinct. A shiver that wasn't from the desert cold touched lightly along his spine, prickling at the hairs on his neck. It was time to go on.
