unearths some literary gems.
From The Herring-Seller's Apprentice, by L. C. Tyler:
***He swilled the whisky first one way and then, in an experimental fashion, the other. It seemed there were only two ways to swill whisky, so he was forced to come to the point.***I should have been getting used to people talking to me in strange typefaces, but this last couple of italics threw me.***She gave me another funny look, but funny looks only get you so far.***Elsie . . . was now staring at me as though I had started to do a strip-tease while humming “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic.”***We gave our condolences to Ethelred and Charlotte, on the groups that there was nobody else to give them to and we didn’t want to take them home with us.***
