But I had only just begun to stammer out my appeal when there came a sharp tapping at the door. "Let us in let us in!" Milly's voice cried, and Mrs. Dalziel quaveringly repeated the same words. I shot back the bolt, and the two in their nightgowns almost fell into the room. Milly, crying, seized me in her arms and begged me to forgive her for all her unkindness to me.
I've my washin', and a bit put by for a rainy day, and a bed to spare, and the Lord and the parson will see I don't come to want." She stopped breathless, her defensive motherhood in arms. The old man said quaveringly, in the pathetic, grudging phrase of the poor, which veils their gratitude while it testifies their independence, "Maybe I might as well."
The boat swung round and the crew began their long row to the steamer; the captain called for a song and led off with "Pull for the shore, boys." The crew took it up quaveringly and the passengers joined in, but I think one verse was all they sang. It was too early yet, gratitude was too deep and sudden in its overwhelming intensity, for us to sing very steadily.
I said I had no desire to change it, but if I ever did it would be to Sampson." A meager tear stood in the corner of Miss Lydia's eye. "That was very nice of you, Johnny," she said, quaveringly.

Old Man Harper came over to the bed and Rowlett released his hold and moved away. "I've done been studyin' whether Dorothy's goin' ter make hit acrost ter Jase Burrell's or not," said Caleb, quaveringly. "I fears me ther storm hes done washed out the ford."

Later we dug postholes and built fences but each day was spent on the new land. Around us, on the swells, gray gophers whistled, and the nesting plover quaveringly called.
