By peep of day Quentin Durward had forsaken his little cell, had roused his sleepy grooms, and, with more than his wonted care, seen that everything was prepared for the day's journey. (W. Scott, ‘Quentin Durward’, ch. XVIII) — Чуть рассвело, Квентин Дорвард вышел из своей маленькой кельи, разбудил слуг и еще тщательнее, чем всегда, стал следить за приготовлением к путешествию.

The first peep of morning, then, showed us this horrible place, and I could see Alan knit his brows. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Kidnapped’, ch. XX) — Итак, первые лучи зари застали нас в этом ужасном месте, и я увидел, что Алан нахмурил брови.
