In Bret Harte's _Mary McGillup_, there is a notable description of
calmness in most trying circumstances.
"'I have the honor of addressing the celebrated Rebel spy, Miss

"In a moment I was perfectly calm. With the exception of slightly
expectorating twice in the face of the minion I did not betray my
agitation."
