I shiver at my embarrasment to come, but I confess I would have used 持
つ rather than する.

I'm as comfortable with the Japanese as I am with the English. "Shiver
as one"? こぞって震え gets no googles.

"Why rush out?" sounds like something you'd say to someone you think is
going to rush out (unless this is another way British and American
differ). If the speaker is outside, the rush-outer must have already
done it.

I couldn't have come up with an example of そそくさと at all, though.
