DR. ILLINGWORTH: 'Your Grace, there must be an amendment.'

(The Lost World, de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

This would not, in itself, have been sufficient for the delicacy of Miss Dashwood;—but it was inforced with so much real politeness by Mr. Palmer himself, as, joined to the very great amendment of his manners towards them since her sister had been known to be unhappy, induced her to accept it with pleasure.

(Sense and Sensibility, de Jane Austen)

Catherine hoped so too, and tried to feel an interest in her own amendment, but her spirits were quite worn down; and, to be silent and alone becoming soon her only wish, she readily agreed to her mother's next counsel of going early to bed.

(Northanger Abbey, de Jane Austen)

Mr. Rushworth then began to propose Mr. Crawford's doing him the honour of coming over to Sotherton, and taking a bed there; when Mrs. Norris, as if reading in her two nieces' minds their little approbation of a plan which was to take Mr. Crawford away, interposed with an amendment.

(Mansfield Park, de Jane Austen)

It is difficult to describe the confusion caused by this amendment.

(The Lost World, de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

THE CHAIRMAN: 'Order! order! Dr. Illingworth, I must direct you to bring your remarks to a conclusion and to move your amendment.'

(The Lost World, de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
