 Context examples 


If he braved the matter out, death would unfailingly come upon him, and usually in some strange and unforeseen manner.

(The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

To Mr. Higginbotham such a dinner was advertisement of his worldly achievement and prosperity, and he honored it by delivering platitudinous sermonettes upon American institutions and the opportunity said institutions gave to any hard-working man to rise—the rise, in his case, which he pointed out unfailingly, being from a grocer's clerk to the ownership of Higginbotham's Cash Store.

(Martin Eden, by Jack London)
