Rustling about the room, his softly-slippered feet making no noise on the floor, he moved like a refined tiger: looked like some enchanted marquis of the impenitently wicked sort, in story, whose periodical change into tiger form was either just going off, or just coming on.
A gust of tears shook her, loosening the dry surface of conventional feeling, welling up from unsuspected depths. She was sorry very sorry, yet so glad so ineffably, impenitently glad. THERE came a reaction in which she decided to write to him. She even sketched out a letter of sisterly, almost motherly, remonstrance, in which she reminded him that he "still had all his life before him."
Then the wretched boy looked cautiously up and found her gone, crept out of bed, fastened his door, and threw himself upon his pillow again: tearing his hair, morosely crying, grudgingly loving her, hatefully but impenitently spurning himself, and no less hatefully and unprofitably spurning all the good in the world.

She had one arm tight around him, as if she did not want to lose him again, and she was smiling down at him and answering him gaily as he talked.
But they considered the lama's presence a perfect safeguard against all consequences, and impenitently brought Kim of their best even to a drink of chang the barley-beer that comes from Ladakh-way.
