How they came to find themselves walking down a street with many lamps, corners radiant with light, and a steady succession of motor-omnibuses plying both ways along it, they could neither of them tell; nor account for the impulse which led them suddenly to select one of these wayfarers and mount to the very front seat.
"Night and Day"
Virginia Woolf

"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving

"Ahead of the Army"
W. O. Stoddard
