When the silk dress came home, Louisa, who had thawed out somewhat in the meantime, unbent sufficiently to remark that it fitted very well. "I am going to wear it to the induction tomorrow," Mary Isabel said, boldly to all appearances, quakingly in reality. She knew that she was throwing down the gauntlet for good and all.
"Was Mrs. Malcolm MacPherson in church?" "I don't know." This, at least, was the truth, thought wretched Davy. "Was the Ladies' Aid announced for next week?" "Yes'm" quakingly. "Was prayer-meeting?" "I I don't know." "YOU should know. You should listen more attentively to the announcements. What was Mr. Harvey's text?"
She had ceased to fear being found out, and she took a strange pleasure in the correspondence for its own sake. At first she had been quakingly afraid of discovery. When she smuggled the letters addressed in Gilbert's handwriting to Miss Anna Williams out of the letter packet and hid them from Anna's eyes, she felt as guilty as if she were breaking all the laws of the land at once.
He hardly had time to bethink himself of his enemy the gobbler when he was clutched under the arm, swung through the air with a swiftness that caused the scream to evaporate in his throat, and the next moment he looked quakingly up into his father's face with unrecognizing eyes; for he had forgotten Absalom in these few weeks.
And even as she cried, she leaped into the white flood of metal; and the lava of the furnace roared to receive her, and spattered monstrous flakes of flame to the roof, and burst over the verge of the earthen crater, and cast up a whirling fountain of many-colored fires, and subsided quakingly, with lightnings and with thunders and with mutterings.
The bridegroom, wise beyond his years in the knowledge that it was well to yield to women in little things, crawled obediently out of the pantry window and darted through the birch wood. Mrs. Spencer had stood quakingly on guard until he had disappeared. So Rachel had gone to her father! Like had broken the fetters of years and fled to like.
I let myself think ONCE, 'What if I should come out first? quakingly, you know, for it seemed so vain and presumptuous to think I could lead the Island. Excuse me a minute, Diana. I must run right out to the field to tell Matthew. Then we'll go up the road and tell the good news to the others."
The night came down at last with a strange suddenness, and with it the warning of the governess came back to him; he thought quakingly of the stricken children who had been caught and deprived of their wings; and then he pulled out his long red feathers and tried their strength, and gained thus fresh confidence in their power to save him when the time came.
"Marguerite," she said impressively, "you know that I do not attend church here." "But, Aunt," I persisted, quakingly, "couldn't I go alone? It is not very far and I will be very careful." Aunt merely gave me a look that said about forty distinct and separate things, and I was turning away in despair when Mrs. Saxby bless her heart said: "I really think it would be no harm to let the child go."
Again the terror that had mastered him an hour before leaped into life, and quakingly he faced the darkness. But he saw nothing only the shifting shadows, the crimson blotches crawling on the veil, and the vague outlines of the coffined dead. He looked back to the woman. Her face was masklike. It must have been a fancy, a vibration of his own tense nerves.
