The change of tone seemed to arouse Susan from the spellbound condition in which she had remained during this extraordinary harangue. "O-o-o-oh!" she said, shudderingly, "do take the horrid, horrid thing right away!" Then she fled into the house. I was very angry at the man for disturbing Susan in this way, and I told him so pretty plainly; and I also told him to get out.
The welcome ray shot straight across the cell where she stood by the fireplace, and she remarked that the dripping did not cease. Drip, drip, drip! She looked down. "I see, I see," she shudderingly exclaimed, "it is raining, and the rain is falling down the chimney. How foolish of me to get alarmed about nothing."
In a marvelous portrayal like that of John Silver in "Treasure Island" the result is a composite of what we see and what we shudderingly guess: eye and mind are satisfied alike.
She hoped that he would pass on when darkness and silence were his answers, but after a moment came a rap and when it met with no reply it was repeated with a peremptory insistence. Conscience drew a long breath, and, shivering with distaste, she slowly lighted a candle. Then she went shudderingly to the door and opened it.

Gay kindled at the first casual mention of food; and, trying to clamber out of the basket, fell over the edge, thumping her head smartly on the stone steps. Miss Vilda covered her face with her hands, and waited shudderingly for another yell, as the child's carnation stocking and terra-cotta head mingled wildly in the air.
Tell me all, and I will be your friend. It has turned out gloriously!" Thus encouraged, the girl begins her strange recital. How years before, with Oswald Langdon, she took the night row on the Thames, strolled along the river-bank, and chatted at the rustic seat, is brokenly described. The assault and fall of both into swollen stream are shudderingly explained. Alice pauses.
She sighed shudderingly. "He allowed me to suspect so much. But tell me. What were these things? Since they're the reasons for your visit, they must be important." "They're only part of the reasons." "There are others?" "The chief reason is yourself." He spoke cautiously, fearful lest he might lose her attention by rousing her incredulity.
There was an instant of flashing wonder and joy on her white face, and then the radiance paled, the glow died. Her soul was the darker for that one strange, leaping glimpse of a glory not for such as she. "I must stay here," she said, shudderingly. "Fay! How strange to SAY Fay aloud to YOU! Fay, do you know the way to Surprise Valley?"
The girls talked shudderingly about it as they sat upon the men's knees in the long summer evenings, and a lovesick fellow from inland had made up a ballad about it, which Gustav sang to his concertina. Then all the girls on the farm wept, and even Lively Sara's eyes filled with tears, and she began to talk to Mons about engagement rings.
