Grimly the panting and dripping William dragged him through the kitchen, where the cook cried out unintelligibly, seeming to summon Adelia, who was not present. Through the back yard went captor and prisoner, the latter now maintaining a seated posture--his pathetic conception of dignity under duress.

The instant the door slammed he lifted his voice--and was bidden to use it now as much as he liked.英文原著 · 《Seventeen》

I shall live, sir, to be envied! and to that point I shall always direct my course." Eight weeks remained in this state of duresse.英文原著 · 《The Life of Horatio Lord Nelson》
The crowded condition of the court calendar kept her for three months in the Tombs, awaiting trial. She was quite friendless. To the world, she was only a thief in duress. At the last, the trial was very short. Her lawyer was merely an unfledged practitioner assigned to her defense as a formality of the court.
