If it were worth while, I could, I am persuaded, define, a priori, the lines of investigation along which we should move, but each investigator will choose his own route, and better so. Two conclusions I draw from my investigations as immovably established, so far as I am concerned.

"No," said Tira, gently but immovably, "I couldn't have Charlotte an' Jerry brought into it. Not anyways in the world." "Why not?" asked Raven. "I couldn't," she said. "They're neighbors.
But he had promised Rosalie to be back before evening. The grandmother now prayed, kneeling with the others, and immediately after quick strokes of the oars the flat boat rowed away from the shore. The fate of France was forgotten; their calling occupied the fishermen. The old woman seemed to listen to the strokes of the oars; her dead eyes rested immovably on the sea.
The stern, under which lay the cabin which contained all that was dear to me on earth, was immovably fixed between two rocks.

You had only to look into his eyes, limpid and still like pools of water, and yet with a sort of clear light that seemed to come from within, and you would understand at once that here was one who knew his own mind, and would stand to it immovably.

As it was now, suffering sullen, silent, self-contained suffering had marred its beauty. Attention and even curiosity it might still rouse. Admiration or interest it could excite no longer.
