1902End of the TetherHe had long since parted with the last vestige of incredulity; of the original emotions, set into a tumult by the discovery, some trace of the first awe alone remained.1912Tarzan of the ApesIn the middle of the floor lay a skeleton, every vestige of flesh gone from the bones to which still clung the mildewed and moldered remnants of what had once been clothing.1925The Great GatsbyThey were sitting at either end of the couch, looking at each other as if some question had been asked, or was in the air, and every vestige of embarrassment was gone.1936Gone With the WindHe went on speaking and there was a quality in his voice, a sadness, a resignation, that increased her fear until every vestige of anger and disappointment was blotted out.Labels: Edgar Rice Burroughs, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Conrad, Margaret Mitchell
