    • 1863, J[oseph] Sheridan Le Fanu, “The Wher-wolf”, in The House by the Church-yard. [], volume III, London: Tinsley, Brothers, [], →OCLC, pages 204–205:
      In the mean time, Cluffe had arrived. He was a little bit huffed and grand at being nailed as an evidence, upon a few words carelessly, or, if you will, confidentially dropped at his own mess-table, where Lowe chanced to be a guest; and certainly with no suspicion that his little story could in any way be made to elucidate the mystery of Sturk's murder.
