How can you use “nokes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Nokes, in particular, believes that for all her very real devotion, Cassandra was something of an underminer, constantly urging Jane to hide her identity as an author.
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.
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.
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.
We'll never know if Nokes is right--in the end, the record on Austen is just too scanty to go beyond speculation.
