"Heaven will reward her for the interest she takes in the heathen world." "Truly, if she hath not now, she will have there a monument of gold," Mr. Hadger piously pursues, adding a sigh. "There! there! my neuralgy; it's all down my left side. I'm not long for this world, you see!" Mrs. Swiggs breaks out suddenly, then twitches her head and oscillates her chin.
The victim is in possession of its full power of sensation; and it expresses the pain experienced as best it may, by contractions. Embarrassed by these tremors, these twitches of suffering flesh, incommoded at every mouthful, the grub chews away at random and kills the larva almost as soon as it has started on it.
"Helma's been talkin'!" "She's a chatty youngster," says I, "and she thinks a heap of her Daddums. I ain't sure, though, whether you come first or Arabella." If I hadn't been watchin' for it, I might not have noticed, but the quiver that begins in the fingers grippin' the bars runs clear up to the sagged shoulders. His mouth twitches nervous, and then he gets hold of himself.
As he spoke his utterance was thick and mumbling, and in his agitation his jaws worked in convulsive twitches. As the two met, the man, with a sudden impulse, took off his gloves and shook Colwell's hand. "'Where are they? asked Colwell, briefly.

But his fury waned, he fell back as in a stupor, and lay silent, little twitches passing over his sightless face. She bent over him, terribly distressed. Should she go? Should she ring again?

I growled and was pushing past, when an iron grip fell upon my shoulder. It was Reuben Sharp. He was so altered I had difficulty in recognising him. At that moment he looked a madman; his eyes were wild and savage; his lips were blue; his face was masked by convulsive twitches. "I was running to see you. Come back," I said. "It's no use no use. They can ill-treat her no more. My darling Emmy!
First, there is the instinctive, natural wish to get rid of a disagreeable subject much as a man, without knowing what he is doing, twitches his hand away from the surgeon's lancet.
The strength of Hercules could not long have buoyed up the under body of such a load, sufficiently to raise the nostrils for breath; and the convulsive twitches of Drewett's arms were near strangling me.

"His mother held him on her knees I was working 'Antonio, Antonio! she called, 'see, what is the matter with the child, it is moving its mouth and making grimaces? I ran up quickly, its face was quite dusky as if it had a veil over it. It opened its mouth, a couple of twitches with its eyes staring, and its neck fell over just the same as a bird, just the same."
"And now, young man, what mission have you besides love?" she inquires, adding an encouraging look through her spectacles. "I am come to intercede " "You needn't talk of interceding with me; no you needn't! I've nothing to intercede about" she twitches her head spitefully. "In behalf of your son." "There there!
