She became conscious of her physical self at once, and this was an experience strange to her; she remembered the gown she wore, the fashion of her hair, her grey stockings and worn, low shoes; slowly, almost imperceptibly, she shifted a foot which was twisted inwards, and having done this, she found that she did not like George's appraisement.
Those words that had come to her in that dawn years before returned: "Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain."

Imperceptibly repentance brought him under the influence of the divine grace that soothes while it bruises the heart so terribly. His face came to wear a look of Melmoth, something great, with a trace of madness in the greatness a look of dull and hopeless distress, mingled with the excited eagerness of hope, and, beneath it all, a gnawing sense of loathing for all that the world can give.
Without any pause in the music the dancer sometimes glides imperceptibly into, sometimes begins with startling suddenness, the next movement.
