Discontented Solace Threadbare
1. Let us leave it to the reviewers to
abuse such effusions of fancy at their leisure, and over every new novel to
talk in threadbare strains of the trash with which the press now groans.
(Northanger Abbey by Austen, Jane )
2. It would make him discontented
and unhappy. ( Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglass An American Slave by Douglass, Frederick)
3. There it must be, I think, in the
vast and eternal laws of matter, and not in the daily cares and sins and
troubles of men, that whatever is more than animal within us must find its solace
and its hope. ( The Island of Doctor Moreau by Wells, H.G.)
