The night spent on the Embankment seat was less tragic1 than squalidly uncomfortable. Wedged in there between those hopeless other figures, Eve had to resist a nauseating2 sense of their physical uncleanness, and to overcome instincts that were in wholesome3 revolt.

Moreover, the man who sat on her right kept rolling his head on to her shoulder, his dirty felt hat rubbing her ear and cheek. She edged him off rather roughly, and he woke up and swore.
“What the —— are you shovin’ for?”
After that she did not attempt to wake him again, turning her face as far away as possible when his slobbery, stertorous5 mouth puffed6 against her shoulders.

She was afraid of waking the man beside her, and the very fact that she dared not move was a horror in itself. She felt intolerably stiff, and her feet and hands were cold. She found herself wondering what would happen if she were to develop a desire to sneeze. Etiquette7 forbade one to sneeze in such crowded quarters. She would wake her neighbour and get sworn at.
