Mrs. Elton seemed most favourably impressed by the size of the room, the entrance, and all that she could see or imagine.

(Emma, by Jane Austen)

The considerable slope, at nearly the foot of which the Abbey stood, gradually acquired a steeper form beyond its grounds; and at half a mile distant was a bank of considerable abruptness and grandeur, well clothed with wood;—and at the bottom of this bank, favourably placed and sheltered, rose the Abbey Mill Farm, with meadows in front, and the river making a close and handsome curve around it.

(Emma, by Jane Austen)
