Jane hung her head and cowered at this, for she felt as if it was particularly directed to her.

Miss Ophelia sat for a moment, as if she had swallowed some explosive mixture, and were ready to burst.

Now that he was gone, he had moved about in daily dread and trembling, not knowing what might befall him next.
