Place: through the forest, by the open window, all over the world, high up in the sky, in the mountains, over there, down the hill, along the quay, up and down the lane, under the poplars.

Manner and comparison: in a different way, laiighing heartily, as if ask­ing for permission, with a happy smile, in a friendly manner, unlike herself, as never before, as if in passing, unequivocally, as cautiously as possible, not so comfortable as expected, as though, as frightened by something, as clumsily as could be imagined, relying on one’s own resources, abruptly, thorough­ly. Attendant circumstances: unexpectedly, with a loud laugh, smoking a pipe,with an outstretched hand,without a greet­ing, chatting uninterruptedly, without noticing him, in des­perate conditions, without any outside help, with all that noise going on around them, with his face turned to the east. Con­dition; in case of his refusal, if prepared beforehand, in the event of failure, if driven by circumstances, but for your help, in case of missing the train, given the necessary knowl­edge, without their permission, but for Captain Brown, but for the stormy sea, in case of emergency.
