unearths some literary gems.
From The Smart Set, 1906:
***
our surprise party had surprised us [Eunice Swift Standish]
***
a tenth-carbon copy of Alphonse Daudet
***
"Some way I fear the dessert. Dessert is so conclusive." [Pomona Penrin]

[Note on one of the attachments:
I like how some of the qualities of this fictitious Peter Bowles match up with the charismatic screen presence of the Peter Bowles of To the Manor Born. (Btw, shortly after capturing this snippet, I happened to type "to the" into the Wikipedia search box--I was looking for To The Lighthouse--and To the Manor Born came up as the first suggestion!)]
