Next Sunday there were far more people than usual at the morning service, though not enough to make the church look full.

Corporal punishment was usual at the time, and such treatment would not have been considered harsh.

Here they do indeed drink, maybe too much, as is usual at farewell dinners.

They had only been tested on rodents, as was usual at the time.

The usual greeting at this time was "light to your departed".

Perhaps for that reason, trading volumes were higher than usual at the beginning and the end of the day.

They were all supposed to go to junior high school for their secondary education, as was usual at the time.

These, as was usual at night, were closed, but not locked.

They had a priest king, as was usual at the time.

As was usual at that time, it was a private institution.
