They were not like Rolfe's eyes, insinuating, possessive; they had the anomalistic quality, of being at once personal and impersonal, friendly, alight, evoking curiosity yet compelling trust. "And you didn't tell me," he reproached her, "that you were at I.W.W. Headquarters."
He came over and stood by the table, in spite of the physical effort which Emmy involuntarily made to will that he should not do so. Emmy's eyes grew tragic at his intimate, possessive manner in speaking to Jenny. "I say!" continued Alf, admiringly. "A new hat, is it? Smart! Looks absolutely A1. Real West End style, isn't it? Going to have some chiffong?" "Sit down, Alf."
Lanley hesitated, and looked up at her brightly. "No; but I think I did have a proposal the other day." "From Mrs. Baxter?" asked Adelaide. This was almost war. Mrs. Baxter was a regal and possessive widow from Baltimore whose long and regular visits to Mr. Lanley had once occasioned his family some alarm, though time had now given them a certain institutional safety.
After experience assured me that all who came to know her shared this estimate, even in those days when every man on the ship was willing to be her slave. She had a compelling atmosphere, a possessive presence; and yet her mind at this time was unemotional like Octavia, the wife of Mark Antony, "of a cold conversation."
To calculate, catch, distribute, seemed in her but a single process. She was one of those who are born to make chaos cosmic. Insomuch that ere the loud chapel-clock tolled another hour all the trunks had been sent empty away. The carpet was unflecked by any scrap of silver-paper.

And he waited for her to express an exceeding astonishment and satisfaction. "Well, of course if you are, you are," she observed simply, regarding him with benevolent, possessive glances across the table. The fact was that she did not deal in names, she dealt in realities.
"Yes, the Great Mogul otherwise, Colonel Robert Belcher." "Heaven help us!" exclaimed the lady. "Well, and what's to be done?" "Oh, my! my! my! my!" exclaimed Mrs. Talbot, her possessive pronoun stumbling and fainting away without reaching its object. "Must we have that bear in the house? Does it pay?" "Yes, Kate, it pays," said Mr. Talbot. "Well, I suppose that settles it."
In America the real crime passionnel is a 'big steal' there's more excitement in wrecking railways than homes." Bowen paused to light another cigarette, and then took up his theme.
