Then the customer of comparatively tender years would get suddenly disconcerted at having to deal with a woman, and with rage in his heart would proffer a request for a bottle of marking ink, retail value sixpence (price in Verloc’s shop one-and-sixpence), which, once outside, he would drop stealthily into the gutter. — from The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale by Joseph Conrad
XX Rumores.—Temores Al día siguiente de esta disputa lamentable, corrieron por toda Orbajosa de casa en casa, de círculo en círculo, desde el Casino a la botica, y desde el paseo de las 10 Descalzas a la puerta de Baidejos, rumores varios sobre Pepe Rey y su conducta. — from Doña Perfecta by Benito Pérez Galdós
res venerabantur superstitiose plantas
It is a wonder to read of that infinite superstition amongst the Indians in this kind, of their tenets in America, pro suo quisque libitu varias res venerabantur superstitiose, plantas, animalia, montes, &c. omne quod amabant aut horrebant (some few places excepted as he grants, that had no God at all). — from The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton

nōbīs vīta data est; at memoria bene redditae vītae sempiterna , Ph. 14, 32, a short life hath been given by nature unto man; but the memory of a life laid down in a good cause endureth for ever . — from A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges by George Martin Lane
runes v supra p
Occasionally there is some more human touch as in the wording of the Dyrna runes ( v. supra , p. 85 ), and in the latter part of the Viking period we often find pictures and even scenes inscribed on the stones. — from The Vikings by A. (Allen) Mawer

These notions respecting the basis of political society, so far unlike what prevailed among the next generation of churchmen, are chiefly developed and dwelt upon in Hooker's concluding book, the eighth; and gave rise to a rumour, very sedulously propagated soon after the time of its publication, and still 207 sometimes repeated, that the posthumous portion of his work had been interpolated or altered by the puritans. — from Constitutional History of England, Henry VII to George II. Volume 1 of 3 by Henry Hallam
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?
