For all the ease and almost inertness with which he sat, his muscles were wholly ready for such command as his mind might give them, to spring instantly to their full power for a fight to the death.

The tree-trunks, the road, the out-buildings, the garden, every object wore that aspect of mesmeric fixity which the suspensive quietude of daybreak lends to such scenes. Outside her window helpless immobility seemed to be combined with intense consciousness; a meditative inertness possessed all things, oppressively contrasting with her own active emotions.
