    • 1923, Lucy Maud Montgomery, “Chapter 7”, in Emily of New Moon:
      She knew life was going to be wonderful here—wonderful and interesting, what with out-door cook-houses and cream-girdled dairies and pond paths and sun-dials, and Lost Diamonds, and Disappointed Houses and men who didn’t believe in any God—not even Ellen Greene’s God.
