Pierre hung up his hat, removed his gloves slowly, nerving himself to endure the sharp glances, and opened the door for Jacqueline. If she had held back tremulously before, something she had seen in the eyes of those in the first room, something in the whisper and murmur which rose the moment she started to leave, gave her courage.
My grandfather charged a clay pipe, and sat tremulously smoking in a corner of the fireless chimney; behind him, although the morning was both chill and dark, the window was partly open and the blind partly down: I cannot depict what an air he had of being out of place, like a man shipwrecked there. Uncle Adam had his station at the business table in the midst.
The bent little figure of the woman opposite had drawn itself almost erect. Mrs. Murphy's cheeks were flushed. Her eyes showed a smouldering fire. "Thank you, no, Mrs. Carew," she said tremulously, but proudly. "We're poor God knows; but we ain't charity folks." "Nonsense!" cried Mrs. Carew, sharply. "You're letting the woman down-stairs help you. This boy said so."
The moonlight was shining on her beautiful face, and she was smiling tremulously, while her eyes were wet with tears. She reached out both her arms with a gesture that was full of an infinite tenderness. "Yes," she said, "yes, I see." And her glad voice rang and quivered on that note which Love alone can strike.

He had the protective instinct of a big man toward a small woman. "Come and tell me all about it," he suggested. "I expected to hear that he had gone abroad."

"We certainly had a terribly anxious time yesterday.
I sent Minima back to the village before the morning-heat grew strong, and then I was alone, watching the cottage through the fine haze of heat which hung tremulously about it. The song of every bird was hushed; the shouts of the harvest-men to their oxen ceased; and the only sound that stirred the still air was the monotonous striking of the clock in the church-tower.
The overworked corresponding tutor was taking his ease at the seaside on the strength of a quarter's salary in advance, which Mr. Wigmore, tremulously anxious to clinch their bargain, had insisted on paying him.
"Why, man, I've just given you about half a million." "Half a million? I don't know. But" he plucked Jadwin tremulously by the sleeve "just a word," he begged. "Hey, just yes or no." "Haven't you enough with those two checks?" "Those checks? Oh, I know, I know, I know I'll salt 'em down. Yes, in the Illinois Trust. I won't touch 'em not those. But just a little tip now, hey?" "Not a word.
I took his hand kindly in my own. "Casting a shadow o'er hill and dale," I repeated quietly, leading him up the subject, "like Come, now." "Ah!" he said, pressing my hand tremulously, "you know it?" "I do. Why is it like the eh the commodious mansion on the Limehouse Road?" A blank stare only followed. He shook his head sadly. "Like the young men wanted for a light, genteel employment?"
"Unchanged, I shall never be his wife," answered Mary, tremulously, but firmly. The deacon looked at her in surprise; for he had never comprehended but one reason why the orphan and penniless Mary should refuse so pertinaciously to become the wife of Roswell Gardiner; and that was his own want of means.
