But the sensation Duff Lindsay tried to sit still under was not simple. It had the novelty, the shock, of a plunge into the sea; behind his decorous countenance he gasped and blinked, with unfamiliar sounds in his ears. His soul seemed shudderingly repelling Laura's, yet the buffets themselves were enthralling.
At the farther end of the apartment, Adrian shudderingly perceived, set in due and exact order, the implements of torture.
Annesley went to a small safe which stood at the left of the fireplace and returned with a packet somewhat bulkier than the count's. He dropped it beside the money, shudderingly, as though he had touched a poisonous viper. "My honor," he said simply. "I had never expected to sell it so cheap." There was a pause, during which neither man's gaze swerved from the other's.
But when he gradually came to discover the mean tricks and miserable treacheries used by his fellow-actors to keep a rising comrade down, when he felt to the core of his soul the sordidness and uncleanness of his surroundings, when he shudderingly repulsed the would-be attentions of the painted drabs called "ladies of the stage", and above all, when he thought of the peace and refinement of the home he had, for a mere freak, forsaken, the high tone of thought and feeling maintained there, the exquisite gracefulness and charm of womanhood, of which his mother had been, and was still a perfect embodiment, some new and far stronger spirit rose up within him, crying "What is this folly?

Thankfully he remembered McLean. Kilts, that was the thing. Tartans, the real Scotch plaids. Some use, now, McLean's precious sporrans.... He'd look him up at once.
The accuracy with which he portrays woman the parasite, the man-eater, the siren, is quite terrible. No writer of his day was so shudderingly conscious of every gesture, movement, and intonation with which the spider-woman sets out to lure the mate she is going to devour.
When the Territorial exclaims that, for his part, he would refuse to inhabit a planet on which there was no hope of war, the peaceful listener shudderingly charges the inventor of Territorials with promoting a bloodthirsty mind.
The craft was so tantalisingly close that it seemed to him almost a cowardly thing to let this chance pass; yet, when he glanced downward at the darkening abyss over which he hung, he shudderingly confessed to himself that the leap was an impossibility, and that they must retreat upward with all speed to gain some comparatively secure spot upon which to pass the night now gathering about them.
"He cursed his baptism," answered tall Medallion, the English auctioneer, pushing his way farther into the crowd. "Ah, the pitiful vaurien!" said the Little Chemist's wife, shudderingly; for that was an oath not to be endured by any one who called the Church mother.
