Prince Of Foxes

Original Paragraph:
A long-necked thin man, with a tuft of beard, who had been waiting at the door of the hall, now minced forward, pointing his toes, and obviously relieved at the summons. He executed an elaborate bow in front of the dais and swept the floor with his cap.
"Good Master," said Camilla, "the crowning delight of any feast at Citta del Monte is a sample of your art. Oblige the Magnifico and is with some droll or graceful dance you have invented, such as the one you lately showed us of Madonna Alda and the blackamoor. Prego, maestro mio."

Now I am going to change some of the sentences by adding some clauses:

A long-necked thin man, with a tuft of bear, who had been waiting at the door of the hall, now minced forward, his toes pointed, and obviously relieved at the summons. He executed an elaborate bow in front of the dais while he swept the floor with his cap.

adjectival clause
prepositional phrase
absolute phrase
adverbial clause

I liked the beginning of this paragraph because it is very descriptive. You can really imagine what the guy looked like and how he acted. It sounds like the man could have been worried prior to this scene due to the relief that he is feeling now.
