Mr. Mason was his senior by several years, but there was no other adversary capable of encountering him; and the intellect with which Mr. Webster was thus called to contend on equal terms was one of the highest order, of ample resources, and of the quickest penetration; whose original reach, firm grasp, and unsparing logic, left no safety for an adversary, but in a vigour, readiness and skill, which could never be taken unprepared or at disadvantage. — from The American Quarterly Review, No. 18, June 1831 (Vol 9) by Various

The piteous spectacle of the outcast people, huddled in masses outside 51 the walls in the bitter cold of March, homeless, not knowing where to go, and uttering loud lamentations, could not change his inexorable purpose. — from The Story of Milan by Ella Noyes
"Maybe you'll tell us, as you seem to know such a lot about it?" Burney coloured under his dark skin, and gave an uneasy little laugh. — from The Village by the River by H. Louisa Bedford

This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,
shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?)
spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
