Still looking at us in that disconcerting way, she tilted her head first to one side and then the other, inquiringly and cogitatively, the way a cat does when she has struck the unexpected and can’t quite make out what she had better do about it.

(From The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain) Passage 1 is an example of subjective description.
