unearths some literary gems.
From "Grimshaw, Bagshaw, and Bradshaw," by John Maddison Morton:
***
Grimshaw: If the whole human race were now standing before me, inviting me with outstretched arms to throw myself into them, I should unhesitatingly select Morpheus as the individual into whose arms I should throw myself!
***
Fanny: Do you consent, or do you not, Peter?
Grimshaw: Of course I do--I jump at it! Oblige me by keeping your eye on me while I jump at it. (About to make a vigorous spring)
