1 She's a perfect vulture, you know; and she hasn't the least moral sense.
2 As was always the case with her, this moral repulsion found a physical outlet in a quickened distaste for her surroundings.
3 To characters like Gerty's such a sacrifice constitutes a moral claim on the part of the person in whose behalf it has been made.
4 The moral oppression had produced a physical craving for air, and he strode on, opening his lungs to the reverberating coldness of the night.
