I took a chance, in the hope of getting some information.

"So you called me in the hope I could do something?"

The police let him go the first time in the hope that he would lead them to the boy.

"And you called me in the hope that I might be able to help."

The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.

He turned down other jobs, in the hope of getting this one.

I would walk that way in the hope of seeing them.

Or wait in the hope that new information would turn up?

It may be that we are now looking toward them, in the hope of doing the same.

Sometimes it is spent in the hope that things will not get done.
