 Context examples 

Under the impression, said Mr. Micawber, that your peregrinations in this metropolis have not as yet been extensive, and that you might have some difficulty in penetrating the arcana of the Modern Babylon in the direction of the City Road,—in short, said Mr. Micawber, in another burst of confidence, that you might lose yourself—I shall be happy to call this evening, and install you in the knowledge of the nearest way.

(David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens)
