Calixta and Alce move to a window to watch the storm, and when lightning strikes nearby, Calixta staggers backward into Alce's arms, and for a moment he draws her "close and spasmodically to him" (p 210). Alce has apparently not, until this point, sensed the passion that Calixta feels: "The contact of her warm, palpitating body when he had unthinkingly drawn her into his arms had aroused all the old-time infatuation and desire for her flesh" (p 210).
