    • 1883, The Academy and Literature, volumes 23-24, page 278:
      "For Miss Fothergill's heroine, however, she conceives a noble attachment; and when, after years of doubt and deception and the wearihood of waiting, the wanderer at last returns, and her friend is revealed to her as a mere married woman."
    • 2004, Tom Turner, The Garden History Reference Encyclopedia:
      Her wasted figure, lean and weak,
      Was wan and pale as garden leek,
      The while her visage, void of blood,
      Bespoke her languorous wearihood.
