Forgetting the strange appearances it would have--her flying along the public road at that hour of the night--should she meet any who knew her--forgetting what the consequence might be, did Justice Hare return and find her absent, Barbara set off with a fleet foot, Richard more stealthily following her--his eyes cast in all directions. Fortunately Barbara wore a bonnet and mantle, which she had put on to pace the garden with Mr. Carlyle; fortunately, also, the road was remarkably empty of passengers. She succeeded in reaching Mr. Carlyle before he turned into East Lynne gates.英文原著 · 《East Lynne》

`I think not. I am sure not. It can't be,' said the spy. `It--can't--be,' muttered Sydney Carton, retrospectively, and filling his glass (which fortunately was a small one) again. `Can't--be. Spoke good French.英文原著 · 《A TALE OF TWO CITIES》
Fortunately, Thornaby House is almost at the end of my street that was; and it seemed to me another fortunate circumstance that the house stood back, as it did and does, in its own August courtyard; for, as I was about to knock, a hansom came twinkling in behind me, and I drew back, hoping it was Raffles at the last moment.

And out jumped these others, chattering in stage whispers as they paid their cab.英文原著 · 《A Thief in the Night》
