Chegas tarde, disse caim, se isaac não está morto foi porque eu o impedi. O anjo fez cara de contrição, Sinto muito ter chegado atrasado, mas a culpa não foi minha, quando vinha para cá surgiu-me um problema mecânico na asa direita, não sincronizava com a esquerda, o resultado foram contínuas mudanças de rumo que me desorientavam, na verdade vi-me em papos-de-aranha para chegar aqui, ainda por cima não me tinham explicado bem qual destes montes era o lugar do sacrifício, se cá cheguei foi por um milagre do senhor, Tarde, disse caim.

The Original of Laura, Vladmir Nabokov

No? Not even a quickie? Well, tant pis. Try to find me some liquor in their kitchen, and then take (me) home.
The position of her head, its trustful p(r)oximity, its gratefully shouldered weight, the tickle of her hair, endured all through the drive; yet she was not asleep.



Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire

"God created these errors," says the Master, as if reading her thoughts. "I merely took dictation."
