But, the sea itself showed much the greatest sign of coming disturbance. The waves, no longer following each other in long heaving rollers, were curving upwards and jostling each other like so many fiery coursers, suddenly thrown back on their haunches, by reason of being reined in when in the full burst of their mad career, and now champing their bits with angry impatience!
'Happiness and unhappiness, says Spinoza, 'depend on the nature of the object which we love.

Then his ear seemed to register a movement of air, a disturbance so soft as to be nameless. Then followed long, silent moments. Yaqui appeared as he had vanished. He might have been part of the shadows. But he was there.
And then Redclyffe went away, in a state of disturbance for which he could not account to himself.
Every mental state, even madness, has its equilibrium based upon self-esteem. Its disturbance causes unhappiness; and Captain Hagberd lived amongst a scheme of settled notions which it pained him to feel disturbed by people's grins. Yes, people's grins were awful. They hinted at something wrong: but what? He could not tell; and that stranger was obviously grinning had come on purpose to grin.
Clean through the plate-glass front a stone had crashed, leaving a heap of shining splinters, on either side of which a score of men and boys loosely clustered, while further down a ripple of disturbance marked where the thrower of the stone had just vanished into some recognized port of safety.
