Lady Arabella's snapping speech broke the silence. "It's rather more than that, isn't it?" said Magda. "How did you seduce Michael Quarrington? I thought" for an instant her voice wavered, then steadied again "I thought he was abroad." "He was. At the present moment he's at the Hermitage." "Here?"
The smile wavered and went out, but still the dull eyes of Elizabeth were steady enough. Though perhaps that dullness was from pain. And Kate, waiting eagerly, was chagrined to see that she had not broken through to any softness of emotion. One sign of grief and trembling was all she wanted before she made her appeal; but there was no weakness in Elizabeth Cornish, it seemed.
Not one of them flinched or wavered, and indignation was hot in their eyes. "Good!" cried the captain approvingly. "I knew you'd sailed with me too long to desert me when it came to a pinch." "That makes ten of us altogether," observed Tyke Grimshaw. "Eleven," put in Ruth. "Don't forget me." "Eleven," repeated the master of the Bertha Hamilton, looking at her fondly.
"What was it I wanted?" persisted Mary. "He dinna tell me," replied Dannie, and the smile wavered. "Me, either," said Mary, and she stooped and picked up her sewing.

And at the very outermost point of that old collection of débris, where the current and the eddy wavered for mastery, on a toughly interwoven tangle of uprooted trunks and half-dead vines, they found a refuge which did not yield beneath them. Here, steadying themselves by upthrust branches, they turned and looked back, half apprehensive and half defiant, at their mighty pursuers.
They wavered fitfully and grotesquely upon twisting, leaping bodies, which were paradoxically preparing for the ordeal of the morrow by hideous orgies and dances and fatigue and nerve waste.

Help him as much as you can, and make him help" he stopped and ran the spokes to starboard as a tremendous billow rose under the stern and yawed the schooner to port "and make him help himself for the rest. Unship the fo'castle hatch and get him down into a bunk. Then ship the hatch again." The captain turned his aged face forward and wavered pitifully.
