Context examples
My companion’s expressive face showed a sympathy which was not, I am afraid, entirely unmixed with satisfaction.
(The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
He could now, without the drawback of a single unpleasant surmise, without a glance forward at any possible treachery in his guest, give way to all his natural kind-hearted civility in solicitous inquiries after Mr. Frank Churchill's accommodation on his journey, through the sad evils of sleeping two nights on the road, and express very genuine unmixed anxiety to know that he had certainly escaped catching cold—which, however, he could not allow him to feel quite assured of himself till after another night.
(Emma, by Jane Austen)
