He had forgotten all the agonies and the ecstasies he had lived through with that picture when for several months it had been the one thought haunting him day and night.
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
All that day and night the family was half-crazed with fear that Ona and the boy had lost their places; and in the morning they set out earlier than ever, after the little fellow had been beaten with a stick by Jurgis.

The Quest of the Golden Girl by le Gallienne, Richard View in context
