Take the following plain sentence:
Louise rushed to the bathroom where she scrubbed her hands throughly. |
And compare it to the same sentence, but preceded by a ‘nominative absolute’ as opener:
Hands trembling, Louise rushed to the bathroom where she
scrubbed her hands thoroughly.
Here’s another example:
Eyes narrowed, fists clenched, lips trembling, he waited in the dark.
