Then he began to pity the great fish that he had hooked. He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he thought. Never have I had such a strong fish nor one who acted so strangely.

Charlotte Bronte
Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past. Leo Tolstoy
Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall. J. R. R. Tolkien

Macbeth. Macbeth!" the name reached her like sling-shot. Groa said, "They are the same man. I should know. I married both. Dorothy Dunnett
Then the violet coffin moved again and went in feet first. And behold! The feet burst miraculously into streaming ribbons of garnet coloured lovely flame, smokeless and eager, like pentecostal tongues, and as the whole coffin passed in it sprang into flame all over; and my mother became that beautiful fire.
