   • 1890, Knut Hamsen, Sult (Hunger), Part One, at p.45 (Canongate Books Ltd. 2016 paperback edition), Sverre Lyngstad translation:

     I busied myself looking for a likely place, began to scrape together some heather and juniper twigs and made a bed on a small slope where it was fairly dry, opened my parcel and took out the blanket. I was tired and fagged out from the long walk and went to bed at once. I tossed and turned many times before I finally got settled.
