By the parasitic and town-ridden condition we are in now, and in which without great and immediate effort we are likely to remain, we degrade our patriotism. That we should have to tremble lest we be starved is a miserable, a humiliating thought. To have had so little pride and independence of spirit as to have come to this, to have been such gobblers at wealth who dare defend it?
So he took Christian by the hand again, and led him into a Chamber, where there was one rising out of bed; and as he put on his Rayment, he shook and trembled. Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble? The Interpreter then bid him tell to Christian the reason of his so doing.
Forgotten by the merrymakers, Marjorie stood alone upon the lawn, clenching her small fists, watching the new dance at its high tide, and hating it with a hatred that made every inch of her tremble. And, perhaps because jealousy is a great awakener of the virtues, she had a perception of something in it worse than lack of dignity something vaguely but outrageously reprehensible.
One sudden and desolating change had taken place; but a thousand little circumstances might have by degrees worked other alterations, which, although they were done more tranquilly, might not be the less decisive. Fear overcame me; I dared no advance, dreading a thousand nameless evils that made me tremble, although I was unable to define them.
But then she saw his dejected attitude; and she stood confounded, looking from one to the other. "I knew him in a moment by his beard," said the general coolly. "Ah!" cried Helen, and stood transfixed. She glared at Hazel and his beard with dilating eyes, and began to tremble.

Those young democrats pretend to be virtuous, and a Vignon ministry wouldn't admit Silviane to the Comedie." This, at first, was his only thought in presence of the crisis which made the political world tremble. And so the deputy could not refrain from referring to his own anxiety.
He laid a hand on my shoulder, and I felt it tremble. "Why do you suppose I came out?" he demanded solemnly. "You were probably losing," I said. "I was winning." "Then you got tired of winning." But he held up a thumb within a few inches of my face, and with it a ring I had often noticed, a huge opal which he customarily wore on the inside of his hand. "She's dead," said Mr. Cooke, sadly. "Dead?"
Ah, Jane, I speak, I live, and still I suffer all the agonies of death! They call me a queen, and yet I tremble for my life every hour, and conceal my anxiety and fear beneath the appearance of happiness!
Lydia heard his voice, decisive, masterful, quiet, evidently dictating terms of some bargain that had been hanging in the balance. When he came back, his head was up, like a conqueror's. "I've got their contract!" he told her, and then, snatching her up, he whirled her about, shouting out a "yip! yip! yip!" of triumph. In spite of herself Lydia's chin began to tremble.
"Sit still, Louie don't tremble so " he said gently. "She is safe now They have brought her home. She's there, you know, asleep." He spoke slowly as if to a child.... He was gathering up the morning in his heart this big, harsh, master of men his little girl was safe and a common Greek a man out of the streets peddling bananas and calling up and down had made his life worth living.
