1 Mrs. Hale drew a deep breath, as though her memory were eased of its long burden, and she had no more to say; but suddenly an impulse of complete avowal seized her.
2 She stifled her impulse to tell him exactly what she thought of him.
3 Scarlett stared at her and had an impulse to shake her.
4 Scarlett had neither the time nor the impulse to pet him but it made her jealous to see Melanie do it.
5 Her first terrified impulse was to hide in the closet, crawl under the bed, fly down the back stairs and run screaming to the swamp, anything to escape him.
6 As they drove off, Scarlett had the impulse to spit at them.
7 And then the picture faded, blotted out by an impulse, hard, unscrupulous and greedy, which had been born in the lean days at Tara and was now strengthened by the present uncertainty of life.
8 She was very glad she had stifled this impulse when her first news of Rhett came in a letter from Aunt Pauline in Charleston where, it seemed, Rhett was visiting his mother.
9 An impulse of curiosity made him turn out of his direct line to the door, and stroll past her.
10 And the day was the accomplice of her mood: it was a day for impulse and truancy.
11 In the first leap of her anger she was about to ring and order the woman out; but an obscure impulse restrained her.
12 The performance over, Selden's first impulse was to seek Miss Bart.
13 To his impatience it seemed immeasurably long to wait, and half-ashamed of the impulse, he leaned to Mrs. Fisher to ask, as the music ceased, if Miss Bart had not dined with her.
14 She had time to take a fresh survey of her wretchedness, and to fluctuate anew between the impulse to confide in Selden and the dread of destroying his illusions.
15 The pertinence of the question checked Selden's fugitive impulse before the train had started.
