Well, I thought, this is certainly going too far. I opened my mouth to voice the angry words but a look at her stopped me. I couldnt help but feel her imperviousness was fragile, that harsh speech might shatter a calm too taut to be anything but hysterical. I drove on without speaking until the hummocks gave way again to smooth desert. "We'll soon be in Yuma," I announced.
It generally begins by a pose, and becomes simple imperviousness; and that is, after all, the danger of pose, that it makes people blind to the truth about themselves." "I'm getting muddled," said Vincent. "It is rather muddling," said Father Payne, "but, in a general way, the point is this.

A palace eunuch, tickling my neck with a feather from behind, gave me my start. I had already drawn attention by my aloofness and imperviousness to the attacks of the ki-sang, so that many were looking on at the eunuch's baiting of me. I gave no sign, made no move, until I had located him and distanced him.
How happy a little imperviousness may make a good man! Tom Taylor, the dramatist, Punch contributor, and society wit, I remember only as a pale face and a black beard. His wit had something of a professional tang.
"I would not have enjoyed it if I hadn't been there," as, with the exception of Arthur Balfour, I did not know a soul in the room.

It had an icy sound and it certainly had the rigidity and imperviousness of an iceberg. Hearing it, one might believe that it could have a cruel sound. The Reverend Sebastian Fortune had come into the business at the age of twenty-eight. He was now sixty-two.
Out of the anæsthesia of exhaustion from which Italy had revived him, it rolled back upon him that by just the walled imperviousness that shut Eunice Goodward from the appreciation of his passion, he was prevented now from Savilla Dassonville.
Jerry said that even yet he was timid of her delicacy fearful of the things he had thought her to be. But he still held her, though she struggled to get away from him. "Let me go, Jerry. You're hurting me. Please let me go." She felt the first touch of his imperviousness when he refused to release her and chose to change her tone. "Please let me go, Jerry," she pleaded softly.
