As they trooped off, an unmistakable odor of burnt milk pervaded the air, and the crash of china, followed by an Irish wail, caused Mrs. Dean to clap on her three shawls again and excuse herself in visible trepidation. Paul laughed quietly to himself, then turned sober and said, "Poor Psyche!" with a sympathetic sigh.
Presently she grew calmer; rising, she put on the plainest of her scanty wardrobe, and went down the stairs, all in a strange trepidation new to her. She had never been in fear of a man before. She hearkened over the banisters for his voice, heard it, and summoned all her courage. How cowardly she had been to leave her father alone with him. Eliphalet stayed to tea.
However, life and limb were nearer to him even than his dinner, and a Jonah must be cast overboard to save the ship. In trepidation, yet with greater satisfaction, his fellow-domestics thrust the poor helpless man out of the house, and secured the door behind him.
She could not conceal a certain nervous trepidation when she first took the hand my father extended; and in touching rebuke of the Captain's stately bow, she held out to him the hand left disengaged, with a look which brought Roland at once to her side. It was a desertion of his colors to which nothing, short of Ney's shameful conduct at Napoleon's return from Elba, affords a parallel in history.
She had insisted on it that they would not prevent our flight, and had given me to understand that they would even assist me if I should ask them. This is what now occurred to me, and I determined to make a trial. So I said: "I should like to fly in the air on the athaleb. Will you harness him?"

At last he appeared at the window in his dressing-gown and bonnet de nuit, and finding whom he was called upon to receive, he exclaimed, in the trepidation of the moment, "My house is not fit for the duke; go to my friend, Doctor Saumarez."
During the last few months I had heard no news of Cosima's condition, and it was, therefore, with some trepidation that I stood at the door, through which the maid did not seem disposed to let me pass, saying that 'her mistress was not well. 'Is she seriously ill? I asked, and receiving a smilingly evasive reply, at once realised to my joy the true situation, and hastened in to greet Cosima.
She heard Piers utter an impatient word, and then in a moment or two he raised his voice again. "Come in then! What is it?" She opened the door with an odd unaccustomed feeling of trepidation. He was standing in his shirt-sleeves brushing his hair vigorously at the table.
In support of this last prohibition he quoted Isaiah iii, 23: "The glasses and the fine linen and the hoods and the veils." To him Cynthy Ann presented the case with much trepidation. All her hopes for this world hung upon it. But this consideration did not greatly affect Brother Goshorn. Hopes and joys were as nothing to him where the strictness of discipline was involved.
"He'll lay something handsome!" said my Lord, when the door had closed behind him. The sun having come out, and John Paul not returning by two, being ogling, I supposed, the ladies in Hyde Park, I left him a message and betook myself with as great trepidation as ever to Dorothy's house.
