Though the men who frequent such DENS are often of the lowest type, or on their way to that condition, they are not all of that character.
"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
It was one of those hideous abodes which the bad passions of men conjure up in this fair world, to rival the fancied DENS of demons and the accursed.
"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving
Our fear was that any of the inmates of the neighbouring DENS might be awake, and, catching sight of us, might give the alarm, and allow the men time to escape.
"Paddy Finn"
W. H. G. Kingston
