"Clare telah mempelajari lekuk-lekuk bibir itu berkali-kali sehingga ia bisa memperbanyaknya secara mental dengan mudah: dan sekarang, ketika mereka kembali berhadapan dengannya, berpakaian warna dan kehidupan, mereka mengirim aura di atas dagingnya, semilir melalui sarafnya, yang hampir menghasilkan keraguan; dan sebenarnya diproduksi, oleh beberapa proses fisiologis misterius, bersin prosaic."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Clare had studied the curves of those lips so many times that he could reproduce them mentally with ease: and now, as they again confronted him, clothed with colour and life, they sent an aura over his flesh, a breeze through his nerves, which wellnigh produced a qualm; and actually produced, by some mysterious physiological process, a prosaic sneeze.
