Context examples
There was a double line of tracks of a booted man, and a second double line which I saw with delight belonged to a man with naked feet.
(The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
A ball itself could not have been more welcome to Catherine than this little excursion, so strong was her desire to be acquainted with Woodston; and her heart was still bounding with joy when Henry, about an hour afterwards, came booted and greatcoated into the room where she and Eleanor were sitting, and said, I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving ready-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
(Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen)
