Her entrancement usually starts with scenes of the events which followed the Last Supper. — Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda
Happy times when six children, all in all to each other, told wonderful stories in low voices for their own entrancement. — Emily Brontë, A. Mary F. (Agnes Mary Frances) Robinson
Recovered out of my entrancement, I found myself in my charmer’s arms, but in the parlour, surrounded by a crowd which this event had gathered round us, and which immediately, on a signal from the discreet landlady, who currently took him for my husband, cleared the room, and desirably left us alone to the raptures of this reunion; my joy at which had like to have proved, at the expense of my life, its power superior to that of grief at our fatal separation. — Memoirs of Fanny Hill: A New and Genuine Edition from the Original Text (London, 1749), John Cleland
