unearths some literary gems.
From Edmund Crispin's Buried for Pleasure:***"For a time I worked in Boots--the book department. But it didn't suit me, for some reason. I used to get dizzy spells.""Inevitable, I should think, if you work in a circulating library."***[It's not only the wordplay itself, but the way EC has taken the trouble to contrive a bit of apparently incidental dialogue so as to give himself a "natural" opportunity for using it. Moreover, this incidental dialogue takes the form of *banter* (between Fen and an appealing female taxi driver). I'm with him every step of the way!]
