unearths some literary gems.
From How Firm a Foundation, by Patrick Dennis:
***She introduced him to Father Somebody who was dressed all in black and to a Mister Someone Else, dressed all in white.[Then, in the next sentence, Father Somebody is referred to as Father Whoever.]***Neither in nor out, the pocket flaps rose like the ears of a jackass.***Bonuses:1. "a Miró forgery by Miró himself"2. We've seen lots of eyebrow "punctuation marks" in literature, but this novel one-ups that by means of foreign-language eyebrow punctuation marks: a circonflexe and then a pair of tildes.
