* The ''Homer Price'' story [https://web.archive.org/web/20160528020332/http://www.runyonsway.net/Homer%20Price/04.%20MYSTERY%20YARN.doc "Mystery Yarn"] has a woman mysteriously beat two men to become World's Champion String Saver, even though her ball of string was smaller. {{spoiler|The story doesn't explain, but astute readers will notice that when she starts unrolling it, she's wearing a "robin's egg-blue dress with the pink trim at the bottom", which is later described as a "robin's-egg-blue blouse with the pink skirt" and finally a "dress with the robin's-egg-blue trim at the neck".}}
* In Shirley Jackson's very slightly autobiographical book ''Raising Demons'', on a family trip to New York, 6-year-old Sally ties the loose thread of her knitted hat to a seat in the train before getting off: "I'd like to see ''that'' train get away," she says. Things don't get really challenging until the hotel turns out to have a revolving door.
