An interesting figurative attributive use:
I had only hand-luggage anyway: the train would slow as if for a routine red light, would pause, squeak, exhale, and in that moment I would make a goblin disembarkation, shutting the door with a sly caress.
— Julian Barnes, 1996, 'Gnossienne', in Cross Channel
