It seemed that Fulford had from the first fascinated him more than any of the party guessed, and that each day of the free life of the expedition, and of contact with the soldiery, made a return to the monotony of the forge, the decorous life of a London citizen, and the bridal with a child, to whom he was indifferent, seem more intolerable to him.
He shunned women. But this place fascinated him. He went in under the flaming lamps. The place was crowded a huge tent stretched over a framework of wood, and it was full of people, din, smoke, movement. The floor was good planking covered with sand.

I used to find a charm in old maps that showed The World as Known to the Ancients, and I wish I could now without any suspicion of self-deception write down compactly the world as it was known to me at nineteen.
For a few seconds Desmond stood as if fascinated, watching the transformation which the hundreds of twinkling lights had caused. Then he pulled himself together, and with a word to the Biluchi who had loosed the lashings, bidding him hold on to the next gallivat, he sprang to the side of this vessel, and hurried towards Angria's.
I was fascinated; I thought I would be on my guard and be safe, and as I only wanted the daughter I looked on all else as of little moment. At table I led the conversation, and thought that my prey would soon be within my grasp.
Little houses, little gardens, little porches, simple cleanly neighborhoods with their air of routine, industry, convention and order, fascinated him as apparently nothing else could.
