Examples

Now Mrs. Person had taught Clare to work, -- as I think all boys ought to be taught, so as not to be helpless without mother or sister, -- and with the help of a needle and some thread the friendly girl gave him, he soon made of the packing-sheet a pair of trousers for Tommy, of a primitive but not unserviceable cut, and a shirt for himself, of fashion more primitive still.
A Rough Shaking George MacDonald 1864
