unearths some literary gems.
From Ralph Makes Good, by Wally Cox(?)
***A young hopeful toaster would trade [his stamps] in for a toaster, which is one of those words that mean both one who and that which.***"Wait a minute," the barber interrupted. He had given Ralph a chance not to list all the several thousand duties of a farm boy, but Ralph had obviously declined it.***"Yup," equivocated the barber, in a paroxysm of consistency.***[One more snippet attached--it's from the first page of the book, and I must admit it's stellar enough to have made the whole experience worthwhile, imo.]
