A sensibility too tremblingly alive to every affliction of my Freinds, my Acquaintance and particularly to every affliction of my own, was my only fault, if a fault it could be called. Alas! how altered now! Tho' indeed my own Misfortunes do not make less impression on me than they ever did, yet now I never feel for those of an other.
And he thought as he stood alone, a frail and solitary figure, gazing dreamily out of himself, as it were, to things altogether beyond himself, that the dim and shadowy ocean was like the vast Unknown which we call Death, which we look upon tremblingly, afraid of its darkness, and unable to realise that the sun of Life will ever rise again to pierce its gloom with glory.
"What news, fool?" said my father, rising hastily from his chair. "Oh, Sir, I don't know, Sir; but I believe, Sir, Mr Frank is alive again, and both the ladies is dead." My poor father, whose health and constitution had not recovered the shock of my supposed death, tremblingly leaned over his table, on which he rested his two hands, and desired the man to repeat what he had said.
They've come!" Then he leaned his arm and head against the wall and sobbed. And the old factor rose from his chair tremblingly, and said his thank-god, and went hurriedly into the square.

Whether at length she would awaken to darkness or to light, none could tell. Allen Barnes only knew that, tried as never he had been in all his life before, he had done his surgeon's work unfalteringly.

Not a French soldier was in sight, so the invaders concluded there was nothing to fear. However, they decided to question some of the villagers.

Jeanne, like others, had taken to the cellar with her parents, where they remained for a long time, tremblingly awaiting the arrival of their enemies.
Suddenly some one hailed him from the shore: "Ah! Monsieur Frantz. How early you are today!" It was Sidonie's coachman taking his horses to bathe in the river.

"No, Monsieur Frantz, no one, so far as I know."
In this respect Robespierre recalls a more illustrious man; we think of Cicero tremblingly calling upon the Senate to decide for him whether he should order the execution of the Catilinarian conspirators. It is to be said, however, in his favour that he had the art, which Cicero lacked, to hide his pusillanimity. Robespierre knew himself, and did his best to keep his own secret.
He rushed upon it, threw it on the gravel near his boot, and began tremblingly to search for his other garments. He at last succeeded in bringing together the following collection: One pair of trousers, one stocking, one boot, one shirt. That was all. He was now shivering from head to foot, his teeth chattered in his mouth, his whole appearance was one of utter wretchedness.
He put his hand humbly and tremblingly into mine, bowing low over it, and so I left him, standing there with bent head, not daring to look up until the door closed behind me.
