1. "A twisted [piece of paper] lay half burned [upon] the hearthrug; he picked it up, and unfolded it, in order to get a better pipe-light by folding it the other way of the paper. As he did so, absently glancing at the pencilled writing upon the fragment of thin paper, a portion of a name caught his eye--a portion of the name that was most in his thoughts. He took the scrap of paper to the window, and examined it by the declining light."

- Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Lady Audley's Secret

2. "I know that the tune I am piping is a very mild one (although there are some terrific chapters coming presently), and must beg the good-natured reader to remember that we are only discoursing at present about a stockbroker's family in Russell Square, who are taking walks, or luncheon, or dinner, or talking and [making love] as people do in common life, and without a single [passionate] and wonderful incident to mark the progress of their loves."

- W.M. Thackeray, [Vanity Fair]
