Romola felt less that she was seeing this herself than that her father was conscious of it as he lay helpless under the imprisoning stones, where her hand could not reach his to tell him that he was not alone.

The wind came back to join its sound with the drum, imprisoning the two Arabs in a muttering circle. "They will not care," said Batouch. "They will go out into the storm without fear." The sand pattered more sharply on his eyelids. He drew back into the cafe. Ali followed him, and they squatted down side by side upon the ground and looked before them seriously.
IV. The cords can be loosened. Bitter experience teaches that the imprisoning net clings too tightly to be stripped from our limbs by our own efforts. Nay rather, the net and the captive are one, and he who tries to cast off the oppression which hinders him from following that which is good is trying to cast off himself.
The commandant let loose such a vehement oath that the waiter dropped the soup-tureen on the floor. What should he do?

Something seductive in his voice, and the good humour with which he called himself villain, made Katharine say no more than: 'Why, you are an incorrigible babbler! Whilst he had talked she had grown assured that the King meditated no imprisoning of her. The conviction had come so gradually that it had merely changed her terrified weariness into a soft languor.
Brattle "cannot but admire" at this, and says: "Methinks that same justice, that actually imprisoned others, and refused bail for them, on any terms, should not be satisfied without actually imprisoning Mr. U., and refusing bail for him, when his case is known to be the very same with the case of those others."
