Example sentences for: nokes

How can you use “nokes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Nokes points out that our source for her fainting is unreliable--70 years later, a niece who wasn't alive at the time thought she remembered hearing something to that effect.
Nokes, anachronistically but suggestively applying 20 th -century standards of family unity, argues that Jane was traumatized by a separation from two of her six brothers.
There is simply no evidence, Nokes writes, "that Jane Austen considered the curtailment of her former literary pastimes, in favour of visits to the Pump Room, the Assembly Rooms, Sydney Gardens or the theatre, as any form of sacrifice."
Both names (along with the no-longer-common "John-a-'nokes" and "John-a-'stiles") derive from legal custom dating back almost to medieval times, in cases where suit needed, for arcane reasons, to be filed against a legally fictitious person.
This is a cheap, ludicrous claim, and I'm happy to say that both Nokes and Tomalin, for all their determination to explore the hidden Austen, basically ignore it.
