unearths some literary gems.
From The Bookman, 1927-1928:
***Warwick Deeping's pipe leaves a greater impression than his amiable face.[Funny line--but looking up pictures of Warwick, I have to disagree. To begin with, just look at these eyebrows!https://npgshop.org.uk/products/george-warwick-deeping-npg-x128504-print ]***Bonuses:1. In a purportedly true account by a writer who interacted professionally with A. A. Milne, Milne is quoted as saying "E. V. told me that you were coming"--referring to their mutual acquaintance E. V. Lucas. It's interesting to observe that Lucas is not "Edward," or some diminutive of that, to his friends, but actually "E. V." (And does E. V. call Milne "A. A."?)2. Meta Trap (Danish character name)3. Viola Paradise (real author's name--and not a pen name, as far as I can gather)
