 Context examples 

Just as I slowed up to avoid overtaking him he stopped and began frowning into the windows of a jewelry store.

(The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald)

I shook hands with him; it seemed silly not to, for I felt suddenly as though I were talking to a child. Then he went into the jewelry store to buy a pearl necklace—or perhaps only a pair of cuff buttons—rid of my provincial squeamishness forever.

(The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald)
