Then came sudden alarms, hurryings to and fro, trepidations of innumerable fugitives I knew not whether from the good cause or the bad darkness and lights, tempest and human faces, and at last, with the sense that all was lost, female forms, and the features that were worth all the world to me, and but a moment allowed and clasped hands, and heart-breaking partings, and then everlasting farewells!
Through it all I was conscious of the cold of the stone floor penetrating my boots and chilling my feet.... The third quarter after one struck, and I began to congratulate myself that the ordeal by the bier was coming to an end. I looked with a sort of bravado into the dark, shadowed distances of the fane, and smiled at my nameless trepidations.
Gradually he felt a vexation arising from the delay of his boat; this soon merged into uneasiness; and at last his eye falling continually, as from a stage-box into the pit, upon the strange crowd before and below him, and, by-and-by, recognizing there the face now composed to indifference of the Spanish sailor who had seemed to beckon from the main-chains something of his old trepidations returned.
My trepidations, however, were delightful; they were just what I had hoped for, and their only fault was that they passed away too quickly; since I found that for the main points I was essentially, I was quite constitutionally, on Mark Ambient's "side."
And with each passing day the shadows receded, her trepidations became less and less, until they almost reached the vanishing-point. She felt that in Buck's love no shadow could live. With him at her side she need have no fear of evil.

"I should like five minutes in the library." The Baronet was all this time eyeing Feltram with a hard suspicious gaze, as if he expected to read in his face the shrinkings and trepidations of guilt; and then turning suddenly on his heel he led the way to his library a good long march, with a good many turnings. He walked very fast, and was not long in getting there.
My life since the period of my becoming an author may be summed briefly as an almost uninterrupted series of doubts, anxieties, and trepidations. I see clearly that it is not good to love anything immoderately in this world, but it has been my misfortune to love immoderately everything on which I have set my heart. This is not good, I repeat—but where is the remedy?
There were certain unacknowledged trepidations as the time drew near, but these she contrived to smother under the excitement and interest of preparing her house for the reception, and the radiant confidence of Buck, which never failed to support her. Every morning and every evening brought Buck's strong presence to the farm for a brief visit.
