- 1907, E.M. Forster, The Longest Journey, Part I, VII [Uniform ed., p. 86]:
  It’s funny enough now, but it wasn’t funny then, for I got in such a state that I believed, actually believed, that Fauns lived in a certain double hedgerow near the Gog Magogs, and one evening I walked a mile sooner than go through it alone.
