To Ellen's great joy, a pretty little room opening from the first landing-place of the private staircase was assigned for her special use as a study and work-room, and fitted up nicely for her with a small bookcase, a practising piano, and various etceteras.
Oh, the delight in getting my dress! We hired the fly from the Crown and Sceptre and Hephzibah drove with me into Tilchester with a list of things to get, written out by grandmamma these were only the small etceteras; the dress itself is to come from Paris! I was frightened almost at the dreadful expense, but grandmamma would hear nothing from me.
It was a matter requiring no small amount of time and labor to transport, in the slow method described, the effects of so many families of officers and soldiers, with the various etceteras incident to a total change and removal. It was all, however, happily accomplished everything, even to the last article, sent on board nothing remaining on shore but the passengers, whose turn it would be next.
In every direction in which her eyes glanced, they lighted upon some object which accentuated her misery the long dress box, in which the bridesmaids' finery lay ready for use; the pile of letters on the table; the hundred and one etceteras of preparation.

There is something very grand in entering a fortified Town the clattering of drawbridges, appearance of moats, guns, sentinels, and all the other etceteras of war.
Thank you, my dearest H , for your last delightful letter, which I should have answered before, but for the production of a new piece at Covent Garden, which has taken up all my time for the last week in rehearsals, and trying on dresses and the innumerable and invariable etceteras of a new play and part.
Then I wondered in my mind whether it were possible for any missionary to tame him! Bloody Bill is communicative and sagacious Unpleasant prospects Retrospective meditations interrupted by volcanic agency The pirates negotiate with a Feejee chief Various etceteras that are calculated to surprise and horrify.
