If they were rich people, gloved and muffed and well wrapped up in furs and overcoats, they would be numbed and miserable; for it is a Grindingly cold, raw, January day; and a glance at the background of grimy warehouses and leaden sky visible over the whitewashed walls of the yard would drive any idle rich person straight to the Mediterranean.

George Bernard Shaw

"Fanny Herself"
Edna Ferber
The wheels of the train began Grindingly to turn, the train advanced-it could not have been more unendurable to us if it had gone over our own bodies.
"Home Fires in France"
Dorothy Canfield
