ref: 1928 August, Herman Klein, “The Operatic Situation”, in Gramophone:
text: His reason was no longer concern that the news might destroy her accord with what she was concentrating on, since that was no longer valid now, if it had ever been, and it was no longer the possibility that he might find something else before she would need to know, for that was not valid either now, since he had tried that and failed, nor was it the Micawber-like faith of the inert in tomorrow; it was partly perhaps the knowledge that late enough would be soon enough, but mostly (he did not try to fool himself) it was a profound faith in her.
ref: 1939, William Faulkner, The Wild Palms [If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem], Random House:
