The King ceased, his left hand grasping firm the leopard head carved on his throne, and his sceptre untrembling in his lifted hand. A murmur of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, the war-cry of the Normans, was heard amongst the stranger-knights of the audience; but haughty and arrogant as those strangers were, no one presumed to take precedence, in England's danger, of men English born.
His eyes did not turn from my face; his hand between mine lay as untrembling as that of a child in peaceful sleep; and so, unflinchingly Lewis Keseberg passed the ordeal which would have made a guilty man quake.
It was the first time she had spoken his name like that, and he was thrilled by the calmness of her voice, the untrembling gentleness of her hand as it touched his hand. From his bruised and bleeding flesh she raised her eyes to him, and they were no longer the dumb, horrified eyes he had gazed into fifteen minutes before.
"Never make doubt of that! I want you to see that it is clean snapped clean gone!" She gave him her hands. They lay in his grasp untrembling, filled with a gathered strength. He wrung them, bowed his head upon them, let them go.
Herod ventures upon the dangerous experiment of persecuting the church of God: he dares, with an untrembling hand, to put James to the sword, and ultimately imprison Peter for the same horrid purpose: but he who "sitteth in the heavens" held the presumptuous criminal in "utter derision," despatched an angel to break off the chains by which his servant was bound, and laid his finger upon the royal rebel to extinguish his glory and his pride for ever; "he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
So saying, he sewed the diamond carefully in the folds of his shirt; and, rearranging his dress, took the cooling powder, which he weighed out to a grain, with a scrupulous and untrembling hand; descended the back stairs; opened the door, and found himself in the open street. The clock struck ten as he entered a hackney-coach and drove to another part of London.
I love not hollow cheek or faded eye; Yet, O my friend, I will not have thee die! Ask me no more, lest I should bid thee live: Ask me no more." She sang thus far with a clear, untrembling voice, so clear and untrembling as to be almost metallic, the restraint she had put upon herself making it unnatural.
Strange are the contradictions of the things of life! The seventh day after that dreadful visit saw my brother Matthew the delicate one, who, while bold men writhed in torture, had kept the same placid face, and the same untrembling fingers him that seventh day saw a clay-cold corpse, carried to the repose of the churchyard.
My last thought will be of you, my last desire for you, my last breath your name." She fastened it with an untrembling hand, passed out of the office, posted it, and went straight down a side street to the parade. The night was still, bound in a frosty silence. The temperature sank momentarily, and the icy grip intensified in the air.
I fixed my eye on the brilliant spot, and soon beheld the meek and gentle form of HOWARD advancing, without fear or arrogance, towards the terrific Phantom. With an untrembling hand he seized the dark folds of its extensive mantle, and seemed animated with the hope of annihilating the Monster. In the instant, a burst of celestial splendor was spread over the gloomy plain.
