"I will give you all I have," she said, and shivered, violently, uncontrollably. The next instant his hands were gone from hers, and she was free. Trembling, she sank upon the sofa, hiding her face; and even as she did so the banging of the cottage door told her he was gone. Thereafter she sat crouched for a long, long time in the paralysis of a great fear.
It seems as if it was too good to be true, and if it didn't" her face looked suddenly old and gray "Susan and William and Ella Anne, an' all the folks, would talk and talk." She shivered. "I can't stand to be talked about, Elsie. It was just because I was so scared o' bein' talked about that I got better last fall.
A last struggling ray from the sun lit up rosy answering lights. He raised his head and saw a skeleton dimly visible, with its skull bent doubtfully to one side, as if to say, "The dead will none of thee as yet." He passed his hand over his forehead to shake off the drowsiness, and felt a cold breath of air as an unknown furry something swept past his cheeks. He shivered.
"Lamentations" acknowledged his approach with the usual grumble; but it was the last greeting he was ever destined to give his master. A bullet flew past with a sharp zip, the poor beast started and shivered, and a thin stream of blood trickled down his shoulder.
She shivered. "I'm quite cold." Miss Ormond said that must be the effect of the crystal, as the afternoon was still oppressively hot. Goring caught up with Mrs. Stewart in the gravel drive outside the house and walked through Kensington Gardens with her.

Presently I became aware that he was laughing, very softly, but in such an unnatural manner that I shivered. I grew alarmed.
The dead mother is as much a matter of wondering inquiry as the angels and the stars; and Fina's imagination was beginning to bestir itself on the mysteries of childish life. "I have nothing to tell you about her," said Leam, controlling herself, though she still shivered. "Yes, you have everything," insisted Fina.

"At the Harrow post-office?" "Yes, sir." "Ah." Again the house-master picked up the letter, but this time he didn't lay down the lens. Instead he used it, very deliberately. Beaumont-Greene shivered; with difficulty he clenched his teeth, so as to prevent them clicking like castanets. Then Warde held up the sheet of paper to the light of the lamp. Obviously he wished to examine the watermark.
