'Ere!" came a piercing voice in unmistakable approval, galvanising the audience out of its apathy into instant emotional intensity. Wigglesworth, frowning heavily upon the interrupter, "that 'e is as welcome " "No! No!" cried the same Cockney voice, followed by a slight rumbling applause. "I say 'e is," shouted Mr. Wigglesworth, supported by hesitating applause. "No! No!
Dodd threw a lovely blue Indian shawl on the bed, galvanising Sarah so that up went her hands again, and the door opened softly and a handsome head in a paper cap peeped on the scene, inquiring with mock timidity "May 'The British Workman' come in?"

The time came when this factitious existence, which succeeded no longer in galvanising fibres dried up under the eyes of the spiritualistic artist, seemed to him to surpass what honour permitted him not to perceive. However unreliable Liszt's facts may be, the PHILOSOPHY of his account shows real insight. Karasowski, on the other hand, has neither facts nor insight.
Foreign phrases she discarded, and she never attempted to produce an eccentric effect by galvanising obsolete words, rightly discarded for lack of vitality, into a ghastly semblance of life. Her own language, strong and pure, she found a sufficient instrument for her purpose.
