unearths some literary gems.
From Henrietta Who? by Catherine Aird:
***"Several Garwells but no Hocklington and not a sniff of a Hocklington-Garwell."[later]Nor did they look as if they could ever have had a hyphen in the family, let alone a Hocklington.[In other names: Waind, Arbican & Waind--very poetic sounding for a fictitious law practice!; and a Miss W/o/therspoon (my emphasis)]***"Alice in Wonderland," said the rector as if that explained everything.***Dr. Sorley McPherson had rolled his "r's" in an intimidating way[....] "Suicide," he went on, "was doubtless meant to be inferrrred."Sloan thought the "r's" were never going to stop.***
