And there remained disturbingly in his memory certain phrases of Mrs. Constable's, such as "elements of growth." He would change, she had said; and he had appeared to her as one with depths. Unsuspected depths pockets that held the steam, which was increasing in pressure.
I awoke slowly from a trance-like sleep, with a confused notion of having to pick up the thread of a dropped hint. I went up on deck. The sun shone, a faint breeze blew, the sea sparkled freshly, and the wet decks glistened. I stood still, touched by the new glory of light falling on me; it was a new world new and familiar, yet disturbingly beautiful.
For somehow or other, in those glad, eager afternoons and evenings, in those nights, nothing disturbingly ugly in me so much as thought of showing its head. Three years before in this stirring town I had felt guilty at being a monk. But now I felt no guilt at all. For down the Champs Élysées our cab rolled serenely now, and even our driver's white hat wore an air as though it had a place in life.

The warning of the siren sounded again disturbingly close, and the rush of the oncoming car could be plainly heard.
They did not last long, and she finally abandoned both in disgust, but a side of her, always active unconsciously, was now disturbingly awake, requiring more concrete satisfactions than the veiled, self-deceiving episode of Socknersh. She was ashamed of this. And it made her withdraw from comforts she might have had.
The girl would never think of him again simply in terms of blue flannel and corduroy. But that was not the most disturbingly vivid memory which she carried away with her.
I found Iroquois Annie in front of my home-made dressing-table mirror, with my last year's summer hat on her head and a look of placid admiration on her face. The shack seemed very quiet. It seemed so disturbingly quiet that I even forgot about the hat. "Where's Dinkie?" I demanded, as I deposited the Twins in their swing-box.
