This passage reads like a script for stage or film.
The medium that would best interpret this passage would be film.
1) Camera focus in on Mrs Peters' eyes slowly turn to meet Mrs Hale's eyes.
2) Mrs Hales' eyes moving to spot the hidden box.
3) Sound of a knob turning with camera showing closeup of knob turning
Panning in & out on eyes and knob is best achieved through use of a camera in film.
