"You did that, Miss Northcott." "Did what?" she asked sharply. "Why, mesmerised the mesmeriser I suppose that is the best way of describing the transaction." "What a strange idea!" she said, laughing. "You give me credit for a strong will then?" "Yes," I said. "For a dangerously strong one." "Why dangerous?" she asked, in a tone of surprise.
He saw that it was his own figure, his very self, and in silent terror, compelled by what force he knew not, he advanced charmed as the bird is by the snake, mesmerised or hypnotised to meet this other self.
The first rumour that Braiding had done what in him lay to meet the need spread through the kitchens of the Albany like a new gospel, incredible and stupefying but which imposed itself.

The spectacle of Mrs. Braiding as she slipped out of a morning past the porter's lodge mesmerised beholders.
But understand: if ever I see any of you again, it is another matter, and you shall eat a bullet. And now take yourself off.

He lay upon the bed as though mesmerised, finding at his first effort that his limbs refused their office, as might the limbs of one lying under the thrall of a nightmare. The laugh died away, there was a sound like a scraping upon the wall, the candle was suddenly blown out. Then his nerve began to return and with it his control over his limbs.
Only he took comfort in the remembrance that swallows, however near, are evasive birds, not easy to seize unless you can find them sleeping. Next she began to tell him all about the Mexican gods, whether he wanted to listen or not, and he sat there in the glory of his new clothes and brilliantined hair, and gazed at her till she asked him to desist as she felt as though she were being mesmerised.
