- 1815, Jane Austen, Emma, 第 II 卷, chapter 8:
  I believe I have been very rude; but really Miss Fairfax has done her hair in so odd a way—so very odd a way—that I cannot keep my eyes from her. I never saw any thing so outrée!—Those curls!—This must be a fancy of her own. I see nobody else looking like her!
  我覺得我已經很無禮了，但是說真的，費爾法克斯小姐的頭髮很奇怪，真的非常奇怪：我的眼神沒法兒從她身上移開。我從來沒有見過這麼奇特的頭髮！——那一撮撮的捲髮！——這一定是她自己精心做出來的。我從沒見過像她這副樣子的人！
