Such was the general sense, a thrill of ease, a spasm of pleasure accompanying each line. That fat old Hemerlingue found it restful, puffing in his stage-box on the ground floor as in a trough of cerise satin. It was restful also to that tall Suzanne Bloch, her hair dressed in the antique way, ringlets flowing over a diadem of gold; and near her, Amy Ferat, all in white like a bride and with sprigs of orange-blossom in her fluffy hair, it was restful to her also, you may be sure.英文原著 · 《The Nabob》

Few things please him more than to go, for example, blackberrying, and he has a knack of never scratching his face or his fingers when doing so. And he finds blackberrying, whether he goes alone or with friends, an extraordinarily good time for planning something he wishes to do or working out the thought of a sermon. And fishing is even better, for in fishing he finds immense recreation and restfulness and at the same time a further opportunity to think and plan.英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
As a small boy he wished that he could throw a dam across the trout-brook that runs near the little Conwell home, and--as he never gives up-- he finally realized the ambition, although it was after half a century! And now he has a big pond, three-quarters of a mile long by half a mile wide, lying in front of the house, down a slope from it-- a pond stocked with splendid pickerel. He likes to float about restfully on this pond, thinking or fishing, or both. And on that pond he showed me how to catch pickerel even under a blaze of sunlight!英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
With an effort that seemed to turn her into stone, she regained command over herself. "I must go now," she said in a harsh voice, and he released her. "I'm afraid I'm an awful nuisance to you," he said. "I get these moods at times. You're not angry with me?"
"No," she answered with a smile. "But it will hurt me if you fail. Remember that."
She turned down the Embankment after leaving the house. She always found the river strong and restful.英文原著 · 《All Roads Lead to Calvary》
The days passed restfully in that hidden valley. The great white mountains closed her in. They seemed so strong and clean. It was on the morning they were leaving that a telegram was put into her hands. Phillips was ill at lodgings in Folkestone. She hoped that Joan, on her way back, would come to see her. She showed the telegram to her father. "Do you mind, Dad, if we go straight back?" she asked.英文原著 · 《All Roads Lead to Calvary》
