The friar chose a saint for himself, and fixed on Saint Botolph, whom he euphonised into Saint Bottle, and maintained that he was that very Panomphic Pantagruelian saint, well known in ancient France as a female divinity, by the name of La Dive Bouteille, whose oracular monosyllable "Trincq," is celebrated and under-stood by all nations, and is expounded by the learned doctor Alcofribas, who has treated at large on the subject, to signify "drink."
Anne clasped her hands together, bowed her head, and waited for the word of judgment. There was no mistaking her sincerity it breathed in every tone of her voice. Both Marilla and Mrs. Lynde recognized its unmistakable ring. But the former under-stood in dismay that Anne was actually enjoying her valley of humiliation was reveling in the thoroughness of her abasement.

He drew his sword and glared angrily through the darkness, and Tappy, having backed as far as possible, fell heels over pigtail into the silver fountain. At the loud splash, Dorothy hastened to the rescue.
I couldn't understand why they were deserting it now, when we were about to set out for the mainland in it; but when I reached its side I under-stood.

She was useless.
