On careful inquiry it is found that all these, and the many other artificial breeds or races of animals and plants, have been produced by one method. The breeder and a skilful one must be a person of much sagacity and natural or acquired perceptive faculty notes some slight difference, arising he knows not how, in some individuals of his stock.
Verver's perceptive pursuit. The relation, to-day, had turned itself round; Charlotte was seeing her come, through patches of lingering noon, quite as she had watched Charlotte menace her through the starless dark; and there was a moment, that of her waiting a little as they thus met across the distance, when the interval was bridged by a recognition not less soundless, and to all appearance not less charged with strange meanings, than that of the other occasion.
Things moved along in routine channels for two months or more before Hazel became actively aware that a subtle change was growing manifest in the ordinary manner of Mr. Andrew Bush. She shrugged her shoulders at the idea at first. But she was a woman; moreover, a woman of intelligence, her perceptive faculties naturally keen.
In this case there has been a passage from the past to the present, but a more retentive perceptive force might have retained the passing nature as one complete present instead of letting the earlier duration slip into the past.
His face is florid and his hair sandy. His eyes are small, piercing, and gray. His motions are slow, and none are made without a purpose.

Her temperament idealistic and highly-strung, responsive as a violin to every shade of atmosphere invoked his own, with its sensitiveness and keen, perceptive faculty.

The principle, after all, is a very clear one; it is that life can be made with a little effort into a beautiful thing; that the real ugliness of life consists not in its conditions, not in good or bad fortune, not in joy or sorrow, not in health or illness, but upon the perceptive attitude of mind which we can apply to all experiences.
The man who would follow it successfully must possess the boldness of a gambler, the sang-froid of a duelist, the keen perceptive powers and patience of a detective, and the resources and quick wit of the shrewdest attorney. It is easier to decry the profession than to exercise it.
"Psyche!" she heard him say in his odd voice, which seemed merely to make a statement without committing him to an opinion "Psyche!" He did not say it to her or to any one else. It was simply a kind of exclamation, appreciative and perceptive without being enthusiastic, and it was curious. He talked to Agatha nearly all the evening.
