Evringham bit his lip and nodded. It gave him some amusement in the midst of his perplexity to remember the manner in which he had been advised to exorcise this tower of strength altogether. "It's my opinion, sir, that children should be made to eat what is set before them," went on Mrs. Forbes, reverting to her principal grievance. "It would save you a lot of trouble if I had been trained that way-- eh, Mrs. Forbes?" returned the other, with extraordinary lightness. "You are a very different thing, I should hope!" exclaimed Mrs. Forbes solemnly.英文原著 · 《Jewel》
I shall see you daily during this last precious fortnight, for I am determined this arrangement shall cease; and you must exorcise coquetry and abet me whenever there is a chance of a word alone."英文原著 · 《Rezanov》
It irritated me, this self-complacent, condescending, qualified approval and criticism of a system to which many individuals--perhaps as highly endowed as our gorgeous Zenobia--had contributed their all of earthly endeavor, and their loftiest aspirations.

With their light in his face and the cold wind waving his hair on his brow he thought of the strangeness of it all, of its remoteness from anything ever known to him before, of its inexpressible wildness. And a rush of emotion he failed wholly to stifle proved to him that he could have loved this life if--if he had not of late come to believe that he had not long to live. Still Naab's influence exorcised even that one sad thought; and he flung it from him in resentment.英文原著 · 《The Heritage of the Desert》
"Jasper, old friend, I would have you sit with me tonight. I am like King Saul, the sport of devils. Be you my David to exorcise them. I have evil news. Tom Keymis is dead."
The other nodded. Tom Keymis had been dead for ten days, since before they left Trinidad. He was aware of the obsession of the Admiral, which made the tragedy seem fresh news daily. "Dead," said Raleigh.英文原著 · 《The Path of the King》
