There's nothing here, and we've got to get placed before our cash gives out. In Cincinnati there are a dozen places to one in this snide town." The idea of going to Cincinnati gave her a qualm of fear; but it passed away when she considered how she had dropped out of the world. "They think I'm dead," she reflected. "Anyhow, I'd never be looked for among the kind of people I'm in with now."
My head swam; the sweat poured off my face; I must have grown deadly pale. He removed his hand as suddenly as he had laid it there. "What is wrong with you?" said he. "It is nothing," said I. "A qualm. It has gone by." "Are you sure?" said he. "You are as white as a sheet." "O no, I assure you! Nothing whatever. I am my own man again," I said, though I could scarce command my tongue.
These thoughts, and others, flashed through Imogen's mind, with the swiftness and exactitude of a drowning vision. Yet, after the long moment of vivid realization, it was at its height that a qualm, a sinking overtook her. The gift had come; of that she was sure. But its triumphant displayal might be delayed nay, might be jeopardized.
She was afraid she now understood only too well why Ida instead of Evelyn Ward had come to see her. In the Ward family the hard tasks had apparently been thrust upon the patient elder sister, while the younger reaped where she had not sown, without a conscientious qualm. And it was for this beautiful, selfish girl that she and Emma had curtailed their comfort.
This seemed reasonable, and silenced a qualm of suspicion which came across Edward's mind when he saw himself, at such a place and such an hour, deprived of his only Lowland companion. Waverley was now left to his own meditations, for his attendant with the battle-axe spoke very little English.
He had just begun to observe how charmingly she was dressed, when some qualm seized her, and she returned to re-enter the cabin. But the door had swung-to with the roll of the vessel, and she could not open it.

"I can charge his keep under the head of 'information paid for. I shall sign the voucher without a qualm." "You'd get blood out of a stone, Jim! Go on, tell us!"
It was the universal understanding that one of the foremost if not the chief advantage in having a telephone, was the gratification to be derived from overhearing the confidences of one's neighbors. To have denominated this eavesdropping, would have aroused general indignation. Persis took down the telephone without a qualm and instantly recognized the high-pitched voice of Mrs.
A most extraordinary change had taken place in the expression of his face; in his countenance amazement, fear, and horror seemed struggling for the mastery. I was filled with a most discomforting qualm, as I gazed at the frightened figure in front of me, and realised that it was that of the great Paul Lessingham, the god of my political idolatry. 'Who are you? In God's name, who are you?
It had filled ominously when Doll ceased baling to help to drag in the heavy, unconscious body. There had been a moment when, inapprehensive as he was, Doll had remembered, with a qualm, that Lord Newhaven could not swim. "Every fellow ought to swim," was the moral he drew from the incident and repeated to his wife, who, struck by the soundness of the remark, repeated it to the Gresleys.
