    • 2007, Sinclair Forrest, The Dragon of Angur, page 346:
      It was nothing less than Leoville de Vinchelez's strange catapult-carrying catamaran, barely under control and listing to port as it sailed wallowingly towards the headland []
    • 2009, Jane Pattison, Charles and Diantha, page 327:
      She had stormed dramatically off and got on the first train she saw at Waterloo station and rode it the whole way down to Brighton, taking a room in a seedy B and B. But then, after a nap, still feeling wobbly and also wallowingly sorry for herself, Diantha climbed off the bed and sat down at the desk to write Charles some operatic note of farewell.
