And it was easy for Mary, after her first glance, to be ready with anything that could comfort the girl near her. "What frightened yo' the storm? I thought 'bout you." "Yes the storm, but Mary, who lives on Thunder Peak?" Some people are unnerved by surprise; Mary was always steadied. "There ain't any one," she said, quietly, and leaned over to light the fire; the afternoon was growing chilly.
He could hardly read the heading, because it unnerved him; nor the opening lines. But he read this: "The following six architects have been selected by the Assessors and will be immediately requested by the Corporation to submit final designs for the town hall: Mr. Whinburn, Mr.... Mr.... Mr. George E. Cannon ..." "What did I always tell you?" she said.
The sun had already reached the eastern horizon, and just as though it were crossing the ecliptic under the tropics, it sank like a cannon ball into the sea. Without any warning, day gave place to night, and earth, sea, and sky were immediately wrapped in profound obscurity. Hector Servadac was not the man to remain long unnerved by any untoward event.
I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect in terror. In this unnerved in this pitiable condition I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, FEAR."

Radisson tried to imitate the relentless Algonquin, but, unnerved with horror, he bungled the blow and lost hold of the hatchet just as it struck the Mohawk's head. The Iroquois sprang up with a shout that awakened the third man, but the Algonquin was ready. Radisson's blow proved fatal. The victim reeled back dead, and the third man was already despatched by the Algonquin. Radisson was free.
Thea Kronborg, troubled by the swarming sensations of her first year in Chicago, has to find her true self again in that marvelous desert canyon in Arizona where hot sun and bright, cold water and dim memories of the cliff-dwelling Ancient People detach her from the stupid faces which have haunted and unnerved her.
He had really been the only one entangled, and as soon as he had loosened his hold of poor Sarah, a good struggle in the outward direction had set him free, and I saw him now striking out feebly and floating helplessly away. My first thought was to swim to his help, but I was utterly unnerved and overdone.
