 Context examples 

Her face was white and set; her large eyes, larger than usual what of the purpose in them, looked penetratingly into mine.

(The Sea-Wolf, by Jack London)

He was smiling to himself as he looked up into her virginal face, so innocent, so penetratingly innocent, that its purity seemed always to enter into him, driving out of him all dross and bathing him in some ethereal effulgence that was as cool and soft and velvety as starshine.

(Martin Eden, by Jack London)
