He seldom came downstairs, and scarcely ever ventured into the garden, for fear, said he, that he might be perceived and recognised from a distant house whose windows were concealed by a clump of trees. One might laugh at the old conspirator's haunting thought of the police.
Neumann, during the confusion in the hall, escaped into the court, where, however, he was instantly recognised and cut down. Illo alone had the presence of mind to defend himself.

Coningsby recognised the Daughter of the Star. She was greatly admired for her points; but Guy Flouncey whispered to Mr. Melton that she never could do the work. 'But Lord Beaumanoir says he is all for speed against strength in these affairs, said Mr. Melton. Guy Flouncey smiled incredulously. The night before the race it rained rather heavily.
He looked keenly and recognised the gatekeeper's daughter Moggie.
