The phrase "she turned white for just a moment," from the short story <em>The Gift of the Magi</em>, means she was afraid of something. In this case, she was afraid of her husband Jim's reaction.

She didn't have money to buy him a Christmas present, so she decided to sell her hair for 20 dollars. Later on that day, when she noticed her husband was arriving to the house, she got worried that he would think she wasn't pretty anymore.

In the characterization of Della from "The Gift of the Magi", the phrase "she turned white for just a moment" is mainly used to show that Della is afraid of John's reaction.

The expression "turn white" means to go pale usually from shock. In this case, Della was shocked after hearing steps.

Although the phrase can be also associated to an illness, considering the context, it is very unlikely that a person will begin to get ill just by hearing someone's steps.

Which lines in this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Macbeth tell the audience that Macbeth realizes his mistake and regrets
Margaret [11]

The line “As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead,” in the above excerpt from act V scene 3 of Shakespeare's Macbeth tell the audience that Macbeth realizes his mistake and regrets his ambition.

Act V of the play Macbeth is the concluding act of the play which highlights the end of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and their evil deeds. When Macbeth gets to know about Lady Macbeth’s unnatural death, he becomes numb. In great shock, he gives a speech in which he exerts about the uncertainty and unpredictability of death. Later he is informed by a servant that the Birnam Wood is moving towards Dunsinane. In despair, he shouts out loud at the servant but realizes that the prophecy of the witches is coming true. He realizes that in the run of attaining the kingdom he had fallen short of love, friends, and honor. His greed has left him alone. Though he thinks about the losses he had faced in his life, still he steps to the conclusion that he’ll fight until his death.

They begin with words such as <em>how</em>, <em>that</em>, <em>what</em>, <em>who</em>, <em>whoever</em>, <em>whom</em>, <em>where</em>, <em>when</em>, whether, <em>which</em>, <em>whichever</em> and why.  What is more, they can act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicative nominatives or as objects of prepositions.
