 Context examples 

It's evident he doesn't look in his glass before coming down, thought Jo, with a smile, as he said Goot efening, and sat soberly down, quite unconscious of the ludicrous contrast between his subject and his headgear, for he was going to read her the Death of Wallenstein.

(Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott)

It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.’ Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?

(The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
