 Context examples 


I saw them throw his body across a horse and ride away with it, but I fear the life had gone from him.

(The White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

All went right: then the fox said, When you come to the castle where the bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door, and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it is the right horse, he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into your hand, ride away.

(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
