Another curve came up, as tight as the one before.

And now round the curve of the lighthouse came the search party.

Then came a curve, another short piece of straight road, with a wooden bridge near the end of it.

The curve in the road was coming up too quickly.

The curve came to an end, the road straightened, and the girl slid over next to the driver.

A rueful curve came to her lips, and she said softly, "Jamie?"

As they rounded the curve and the road came into sight, Fiona stopped abruptly.

They rounded another curve in the river and the new port came into view.

The soft, marbled curve of the Earth was just coming into view.
