Context examples
We returned unwounded, and the meeting, therefore, never got abroad.
(Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen)
She had little difficulty in understanding thus much of her rival's intentions, and while she was firmly resolved to act by her as every principle of honour and honesty directed, to combat her own affection for Edward and to see him as little as possible; she could not deny herself the comfort of endeavouring to convince Lucy that her heart was unwounded.
