In chapter 20.
At every step he's inclined to do something inappropriate, let loose a little......
"At every step he was incited to do some strange, wild, wicked thing or other, with a sense that it would be at once involuntary and intentional; in spite of himself, yet growing out of a profounder self than that which opposed the impulse."
