The stars were shining , and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful ; and I heardhearan owl , away off , who-whooing about somebody that was dead , and a whippowill and a dog cryingcryabout somebody that was going to die ; and the windwindwas tryingtryto whisper something to me , and I could n't make out what it was , and so it made the cold shiversshiverrun over me .
At that very moment such a loud sound of wailingwailbroke out from the servants ' quarters that she clutchedclutchthe young man 's arm , and Mary stood shiveringshiverfrom head to foot .
She shiveredshivera little as she closedclosethe door behind her , and her face was eloquent of her surprise and perplexity .
At the hitch-bars along the street a few heavy work-horses , harnessed to farm wagons , shiveredshiverunder their blankets .
