His usually courageous eyes were full of superstitious fear. "Signore, do you--"
He stopped. He had seen the death-charm lying on the little table covered with silver trifles. He approached it, made a sign of the cross, bent down his head and examined it closely, but did not touch it. Artois and Vere watched him closely. He lifted up his head at last. "I know who brought the /fattura della morte/ here," he said, solemnly. "I know."
"Who?" said Vere.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
Fanny did not tell Vizard; and he was downright happy, seeing the woman he loved recover, by slow degrees, her health, her strength, her color, her voice. Parting was not threatened. He did not realize that they should ever part at all. He had vague hopes that, while she was under his roof, opportunity might stand his friend, and she might requite his affection. All this would not bear looking into very closely: for that very reason he took particular care not to look into it very closely; but hoped all things, and was happy. In this condition he received a little shock.英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
It has been shown that Kenneth, from whom the Mackenzies take their name, was closely allied by marriage with William, second Earl of Ross, the latter having married Kenneth's maternal aunt.

I will not discuss the second case of utter sterility, but your assumptions in Paragraph 13 seem to me much too complicated. I cannot believe so universal an attribute as utter sterility between remote species was acquired in so complex a manner. I do not agree with your rejoinder on grafting: I fully admit that it is not so closely restricted as crossing, but this does not seem to me to weaken the case as one of analogy. The incapacity of grafting is likewise an invariable attribute of plants sufficiently remote from each other, and sometimes of plants pretty closely allied.英文原著 · 《More Letters of Charles Darwin Volume I》
``You don't know anything of his antecedents, I suppose?'' said John, carelessly. ``Only what he told me. His father and mother are dead, and he is obliged to support himself and his sister. Did you notice anything familiar in Frank's expression?'' asked Mr. Wharton. ``I don't know. I didn't observe him very closely.''
``Whenever I look at Frank, I think of George. I suppose that is why I have felt more closely drawn to the boy.英文原著 · 《The Cash Boy》
