   • 1837, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Ethel Churchill, volume 2, page 79:

     The loud ringing of the prompter's bell made her spring suddenly away; and two of his companions, each taking an arm, hurried him away also. How glad would he have been to have left the party: his thoughts were in a tumult; duties and inclinations warred together—nay, his very sense of right was confounded.
