unearths some literary gems.
From The Case of the Restless Redhead, by Erle Stanley Gardner:
***
"Pretty Polly. Watch it now. Here's your cracker," the parrot interpolated.
[The parrot *interpolated*! (N.B. I think the "bonus" near-Tom Swifty of Polly inter-pol-ating was unintended. Also of note: The presence of the parrot is *not* used as a plot device, i.e., the parrot doesn't repeat any compromising bit of a secret conversation at a crucial juncture. It's a purely recreational parrot!)]

From An Oxford Tragedy, by J. C. Masterman:
***
You must see it all through my eyes, or rather--to be more exact--through my spectacles.
