unearths some literary gems.
From Death on the Down Beat, by Sebastian Farr:
***"The Police Surgeon...gave me the facts...in the usual rather aggrieved and 'needless-to-say' manner."***[A literal month of Sundays!]"Beatrice says I must come every Sunday as long as I'm here....Perhaps she thinks that standing invitation is quite safe because I'm bound to catch the culprit in less than a month of Sundays."***[Giving sailors and old-time Middle Tennesseans a run for their pan-superstitious money!]"As I write down the date, I reflect that the 13th is indeed an unlucky day. No, this does not mean that I have become superstitious...it simply means that any day is unlucky."***[One-upping "anyhow"]"It ought to be interesting, every-how, as they say here."***
