Jonah 1:10 (NIV) This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.)
It is said that Dr. Mortimer Adler suddenly left a discussion group at a tea quite disgusted, slamming the door after him. One person trying to relieve the tension, remarked, "Well, he's gone."
