"My dear, are you sure?" "Quite," said Isabel. Mr. Stafford sighed. "I must speak to Yvonne. 'How hardly shall they..." He took a note out of his cash box. "Can't you make that do ?" he was beginning when a qualm of compunction came upon him.
Bayweather holding by the hand the oldest Powers child, a pretty blonde girl of twelve. Frank's voice pealed out above the jig-jig-jigging of the fiddle. "Salute your partners!" Vincent had a qualm of a feeling he thought he had left behind him with his boyhood, real embarrassment, fear of appearing at a disadvantage. What in the world did their antiquated lingo mean?
She said to herself: "Sarah Gailey has nothing to look forward to, except worry. Sarah Gailey is at the end, instead of at the beginning!" When she got off the train at Turnhill station, early that afternoon, she had no qualm at the thought of meeting George Cannon; she was not even concerned to invent a decent excuse for her silence in relation to his urgent letter.
"But, my dear old Barry, what on earth is there to upset? There's no earthly obstacle to their marrying that I can see!" As she spoke she felt a sudden little qualm of apprehension. It was purely selfish, as she told herself with a twinge of honest self-contempt. But what should she do without Penelope? It would create a big blank for her if her best friend left her for a home of her own.
I could see nothing of the earth. Evidently we were too high for that. "It must lie away down under our feet," I murmured half aloud, "so that even the horizon has sunk out of sight. Heavens, what a height!" I had that queer uncontrollable qualm that comes to every one who finds himself suddenly on the edge of a soundless deep.
For she knew that it was the cost to her he was counting. She knew that for himself he had ever held life cheap, that he could have seen Tignonville suffer without a qualm. And the thoughtfulness for her, the value he placed on a thing even on a rival's life because its was dear to her, touched her home, moved her as few things could have moved her at that moment.
"I've been stopped," she thought to herself with a horrid qualm. She looked about her in this quiet, ancient place. Nothing stirred. There was no life nor sign of life; no birds sang; no rabbits scuttled off at her approach. The stillness was bewildering, and gravity hung down upon it like a heavy curtain. It hushed the heart in her.
You'll all stop, of course: don't think of declining. Nelly blushes, yonder, doubtful, on "hospitable thoughts intent," I don't believe "our general mother," though she had Eden for her larder, heard Adam announce the Archangel's unexpected visit about dinner-time without a momentary qualm as to whether the peaches would go round twice.
So that, although I did feel a certain qualm of conscience at having been the means of introducing Rashleigh, being such as he was described by Miss Vernon, into my father's business perhaps into his confidence I subdued it by the reflection that my father was complete master of his own affairs a man not to be imposed upon, or influenced by any one and that all I knew to the young gentleman's prejudice was through the medium of a singular and giddy girl, whose communications were made with an injudicious frankness, which might warrant me in supposing her conclusions had been hastily or inaccurately formed.
"Clarissa Underwood?" asked the unsuspecting Ralph. There did come some prick of conscience, some qualm, of an injury done, upon the young Squire as he made his answer. "No; not Clarissa; though she is the dearest, sweetest girl that ever lived, and would make a better wife perhaps than the girl I think of." "And who is the girl you think of?" "She is to be found in the same house."
