When one of the old patriarchs had committed a great sin, and had unbelievingly twitched his hand out of God's hand, and gone away down into Egypt to help himself instead of trusting to God, he was commanded, on his return to Palestine, to go to the place where he dwelt at the first, and begin again, at the point where he began when he first entered the land.
His face twitched and her own blushed deeply, and then she talked in a nervous and jerky way, reproaching him for his neglect of her. "I have been busy," he began, and then stopped with a sense of hypocrisy. "I mean worried and tormented," and then stopped again, for Drake had dropped his head.
You're not an angel; you're a young woman and a crazy one, at that! Whatever angels do, young women don't go unannounced and unchaperoned into young men's rooms! Pete, go tell your master that we are here, and ask if he will receive us." Pete's lips twitched. The emphatic "we" and "us" were not lost on him.

The question sent a shudder through her, but she answered quickly: "Mark Volokov." His face twitched ominously. Then he pressed his whip over his knee so that it split in pieces, which he hurled away from him. "So it will end with him too," he shouted. As he stood trembling before her, stooping forward, with wild eyes, he was like an animal ready to spring on the enemy.
"I want my little broom," she exclaimed and marched sedately past, at which manifestation of spirit Lester again twitched internally, this time allowing the slightest suggestion of a smile to play across his mouth.

Her modest dress of black was certainly a very becoming one. George thought he had never seen a woman so beautiful. As she was standing up, she evidently intended the interview to be a short one.
He strove, however, to maintain his dignified composure. "Just as you say, of course," he replied with hurt coolness. Sylvia glanced at him covertly, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "I suppose we may as well try it," she said. "Do you suppose some of the others would like to come with us? There's plenty of room for everybody." Again Thomas choked. This was the last thing that he desired.
"And then I'll make him one." The corners of Mr. Finch's mouth twitched perceptibly. "Gently, dear sir! Remember, please, that I am only concerned with the immediate situation. To-morrow I start again for Bristol, leaving the future to be dealt with as your prudence may direct.
Seeing that he was moved by nothing she had said, she suddenly paused, and presently I heard her observe in quite a different tone: "There is one thing you must know which I thought you would know without my telling you. I have never lived with this man, and I believed him dead when I gave my hand to you." The mayor's fingers twitched. She had touched him at last.
He felt that he had a right to know. It should have been told to him before, if it was as he suspected. Leaden with fear, his mother watched him. Words dropped mechanically from her lips. A tattered lace handkerchief twitched in her fingers. When the clock struck six, he got up and went to the door. Then he turned back and looked at her. Their eyes met.
