Vanity being his first consideration, it is probable that he would have refused to be made ridiculous in her eyes, had not a knock on the door galvanized him into a fever of fright. He sprang up and glared wildly around for some means of eluding the threatened scrutiny of a search party. Luisa Gomez flung him a rough skirt and a shawl.
In every moment I heard those calm and fatal words, "I do not love you," sounding clear and sweet through the dull leaden air of night, an air full of ghostly sounds, sighs about the casements, creaking stairs, taps at the window, light sounds of feet in the long hall below; all falling heedless on my ear, for my ghost walked and talked with me, a ghastly reality, the galvanized corpse of a murdered life.
This should be the final honor paid to all human works that have served a good office in their day, for when their day is over, if still galvanized into false life, they do harm instead of good. . . . . The interior of Santa Maria Novella is spacious and in the Gothic style, though differing from English churches of that order of architecture.
A box of this kind is built to fit a kitchen or a pantry window, and is placed outside of the window, so that the opening comes toward the room. A box for this purpose may be made of wood or galvanized iron, and it is usually supported by suitable brackets.
They walked on, repressing the desire to step on tiptoe, until through the trees they could see across the river the galvanized iron of the shed. A little bit higher up-stream the clearing of the trees had allowed some stunted shrubs to cluster on the river bank. These appearing to offer good cover, the two men crawled forward and took up a position in their shelter.

At twelve o'clock Bob Crass the painters' foreman blew a blast upon a whistle and all hands assembled in the kitchen, where Bert the apprentice had already prepared the tea, which was ready in the large galvanized iron pail that he had placed in the middle of the floor. By the side of the pail were a number of old jam-jars, mugs, dilapidated tea-cups and one or two empty condensed milk tins.
"This fine lady, who thinks herself so witty and so sensitive, has an inner skin like a hippopotamus; she is covered with a magnificent egoism, which must be at least of galvanized steel. Her armour protects her against the action of other people's miseries and pains. "This woman, so beautiful, is of a grotesque egotism; one understands her husband's despising her.
It was better that he should know this beforehand and be spared a shock. Never to see that beautiful face again in this world! Max felt like one dead and galvanized as he walked into the house and was received by a doctor some great specialist whose name he had heard, but whom he had never chanced to meet.
"I said less than half that," retorted she sharply. "And I thought you were rich." A peculiar rolling of the eyes and twisting of the lips gave her the idea that he was about to vent that repulsive sound again. "Don't you laugh!" she cried. "I can't bear your laugh even at its best." Suddenly he galvanized into fury. "This is an outrage!" he cried, waving his useless-looking white fists.
