The sandals, with latchets to them. There was, The felt shoe. The linen shoe. The laced shoe. The braided shoe. The calceus incisus. And The calceus rostratus. Rubenius shewed my father how well they all fitted,--in what manner they laced on,--with what points, straps, thongs, latchets, ribbands, jaggs, and ends.--
--But I want to be informed about the breeches, said my father.英文原著 · 《The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy》
Next day there arrived one of the other young men, and in the evening, when the shoemaker had gone out and they were alone, she said to him, 'See if the latch is on the door.' The young man hastened to do her bidding, but as soon as he touched the latch, his fingers stuck to it, and there he had to stay for many hours, till the shoemaker came back, and the girl let him go. Hanging his head, he went home, but he told no one what had befallen him.英文原著 · 《The Lilac Fairy Book》
And yet from the moment I got down from the gillie's cart I seemed drawn under a persisting surveillance. I felt now that some one was looking at me. I turned quickly. There was a door at the end of the room opening onto a bit of garden facing the sea. A man stood, now, just inside this door, his hand on the latch. His head and shoulders were stooped as though he had been there some moments, as though he had let himself noiselessly in, and remained there watching me before the fire. But if so, he was prepared against my turning. He snapped the latch and came down the room to where I stood.英文原著 · 《The Sleuth of St. James Street》

At last the old lodgekeeper pulled up the latch; and as the young man passed his window, called out in a hoarse voice, "Monsieur Granville, here is a letter for you."英文原著 · 《A Second Home》
