You don’t think much about romance when you have just escaped from a watery grave.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 224 · C1
Her dirty petticoat quite escaped my notice.”
Pride and Prejudice, p. 38 · B2
To Elizabeth it appeared, that had her family made an agreement to expose themselves as much as they could during the evening, it would have been impossible for them to play their parts with more spirit, or finer success; and happy did she think it for Bingley and her sister that some of the exhibition had escaped his notice, and that his feelings were not of a sort to be much distressed by the folly which he must have witnessed.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 117 · B2
She could think of nothing else; and yet, whether Bingley’s regard had really died away, or were suppressed by his friends’ interference; whether he had been aware of Jane’s attachment, or whether it had escaped his observation; whichever were the case, though her opinion of him must be materially affected by the difference, her sister’s situation remained the same, her peace equally wounded.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 154 · B2
