- “We quarrelled long ago, did we not, and many years have passed since we met, but Time heals all wounds and—welcome, son of my father. I need not ask if you are well,” and he glanced enviously at the great-framed man who knelt before him.1910, H[enry] Rider Haggard, chapter II, in Morning Star:
- Patricia Florca, wearing black market Levis and a dark blue, collarless shirt, snapped open a Ronson lighter and put flame to a black market Marlboro. Lidia Cozma looked enviously at the cigarette's glowing tip. "Want one?" Patricia whispered. Lidia nodded and Patricia offered the pack. Lidia removed a Marlboro, and moments later both women were sending exhaled smoke toward a cloudless sky.2013, Mike Johnson, A Season Forgotten, page 191:
