Usage examples for spine

The
cold
chill
of
fear
still
crept
up
and
down
my
spine
whenever
I
thought
of
taking
part
in
an
engagement;
but
I
was
becoming
so
nearly
a
man
as
to
desire,
in
case
it
became
necessary
to
fight,
that
I
might
gain
some
honor
for
standing
stiffly
when
really
my
heart
was
faint.

It
must
be
remembered
that
the
skin
is
the
great
organ
of
sensation,
and
in
close
connection
with
brain,
spine,
and
nerve-
centres:
so
that
what
a
strong
nervous
system
can
bear
with
advantage
is
too
powerful
and
exhausting
for
another.
– The American Woman's Home by Catherine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe

Shifting
uneasily
in
his
chair,
the
man
in
the
checked
suit
flushed
darkly,
then
stiffened
his
spine,
hardened
his
eyes,
set
his
jaw,
and
faced
Number
One
defiantly.
– Red Masquerade by Louis Joseph Vance
