 Context examples 


"But," I cried, surely the whole experience of the human race is not to be set aside on account of a single sketch—I had turned over the leaves and ascertained that there was nothing more in the book—a single sketch by a wandering American artist who may have done it under hashish, or in the delirium of fever, or simply in order to gratify a freakish imagination.

(The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
