From the library

And concluded the banquet—]
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, p. 81 · B2
With rows of flaring torches to light it up, and the colour and rude hilarity of an old-time banquet, it might have softened; but now, when two black-clothed gentlemen sat in the little circle of light thrown by a shaded lamp, one’s voice became hushed and one’s spirit subdued.
The Hound of the Baskervilles, p. 72 · C1
