In his bosom the secret julep tingled radiantly. At that hour of the evening the shining bustle of the central streets was drawing the life of the city to itself. In the residential by-ways through which his route took him the pavements were nearly deserted. A delicious sense of extravagant adventure possessed him.
Jimmie Dale's fingers, from the dial, sought the floor, and frictioned briskly over the rough, threadbare carpet, until the nerves tingled under the delicate skin and then they shot to the dial again. Strained, every faculty keyed up to its highest tension, he crouched there against the safe.
Their perverse, sportsmen's brains tingled and thrilled; they had successfully eluded all the resorts on the way, and arrived here without being caught. There was the Blue Peak, like a mast against the sky! They hurried up so fast that Solem was hardly able to keep pace with them.
Great, gray plains closed in upon him dear, familial plains, scarred and broken with sharp-nosed hills and deep, water-worn coulees gleaming barren and yellow in the sun. The blue, blue sky was bending down to meet the hills, with feathery, white clouds trailing lazily across. His cheeks felt the cool winds which flapped his hat-brim and tingled his blood.
His blood tingled at the presentiment of the adventures he should have in that perilous journey through a country of which he knew nothing beyond his father's and the adjoining rancho. And as adventures would be but half spiced if experienced alone, he determined and not from selfish motives only to save his best beloved friend, Adan Pardo, from the grasp of the law likewise.
He read with a dull feeling imagination only half at work. He best grasped, on that first reading, the pain his father must have had in writing such a letter. He let the last sheet fall, and in a sort of mental, moral helplessness he began to read the first again. It all seemed to him disgusting dead and disgusting. Then, suddenly, a hot wave of horrified emotion tingled through him.
As the Juanita drew near, Virginia saw the square figure and clean, smooth-shaven face of Captain Lige standing in front of his wheel-house Peace crept back into her soul, and she tingled with joy as the bells clanged and the bucket-planks churned, and the great New Orleans packet crept slowly to the Barbara's side. "You ain't goin' in, Brent?" shouted the Barbara's captain.
The true triumphs of "local coloring" have been made by men who have struck at the heart and spirit of a place have caught its tone and timbre as George Du Maurier did with the Quartier Latin and have set forth only such details as tingled with this spiritual tone.
All Jos's blood tingled with delight, as he surveyed this victim to his attractions. A few adroit words, one or two knowing tender glances of the eyes, and his heart was inflamed again and his doubts and suspicions forgotten. From Solomon downwards, have not wiser men than he been cajoled and befooled by women?
It shall come to life again, piece by piece. First the big piece shall join itself to two others on the right and the left on the right and the left. Look! To save his life, Kim could not have turned his head. The light touch held him as in a vice, and his blood tingled pleasantly through him.
