Miscellaneous snippets from Saki:
[from "The Seventh Pullet"] “The potato that weighed just over two pounds,” said his friend Gorworth. “Did I tell you about that?” said Blenkinthrope; “I was telling the others in the train this morning. I forgot if I’d told you.” “To be exact you told me that it weighed just under two pounds, but I took into account the fact that abnormal vegetables and freshwater fish have an after-life, in which growth is not arrested.”
*** [from "The Dreamer"] Cyprian was a boy who carried with him through early life the wondering look of a dreamer, the eyes of one who sees things that are not visible to ordinary mortals, and invests the commonplace things of this world with qualities unsuspected by plainer folk—the eyes of a poet or a house agent.
*** [from "On Approval"] She knew a newspaper correspondent, a young man who ate bortsch with the air of having invented it. ***

*In the tradition of the great Charles Fort (even to coverage of frogs raining from the sky), the Handbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena by William R. Corliss (1977) collects eye-witness accounts of highly unusual natural phenomena beyond the reach of scientific explanation. Square lunar haloes, multiple moons, kaleidoscopic suns, tornadoes with luminous clouds within their funnels, rocket lightning, massive pillars of light on the horizon, auroral "meteors," clouds radiating streams of lights like fireworks, mountain peaks that emit lightning and toss electric globes to one another, space fireflies, will-o'-the-wisps and ghost lights, phosphorescent wheels at sea, six rainbows at once, visible sound waves, sideways mirages, ghost echoes on the earth-moon path, conical snowflakes, slow-falling hail, black snow, fatal fogs, cloud arches, forked waterspouts and clouds connected by horizontal waterspouts, steam devils, "fog guns" or mistpouffers, musical thunder and musical snowflakes, non-lunar tides, rains of sand eels and turtles and toads and spider webs, and manna and brimstone from heaven. The lavishly illustrated handbook illuminates a world so vastly bizarre that one could easily be convinced it addressed a distant planet and not our own.

unearths some literary gems.
From The American Claimant, by Mark Twain:
THE WEATHER IN THIS BOOK.
No weather will be found in this book. This is an attempt to pull a book through without weather. It being the first attempt of the kind in fictitious literature, it may prove a failure, but it seemed worth the while of some dare-devil person to try it, and the author was in just the mood. Many a reader who wanted to read a tale through was not able to do it because of delays on account of the weather. Nothing breaks up an author’s progress like having to stop every few pages to fuss-up the weather. Thus it is plain that persistent intrusions of weather are bad for both reader and author. Of course weather is necessary to a narrative of human experience. That is conceded. But it ought to be put where it will not be in the way; where it will not interrupt the flow of the narrative. And it ought to be the ablest weather that can be had, not ignorant, poor-quality, amateur weather. Weather is a literary specialty, and no untrained hand can turn out a good article of it. The present author can do only a few trifling ordinary kinds of weather, and he cannot do those very good. So it has seemed wisest to borrow such weather as is necessary for the book from qualified and recognized experts—giving credit, of course. This weather will be found over in the back part of the book, out of the way. See Appendix. The reader is requested to turn over and help himself from time to time as he goes along.

unearths some literary gems.
From "The She-Wolf," by Saki:
***Leonard returned to his home circle garrulous about his Russian strike experiences, but oppressively reticent about certain dark mysteries, which he alluded to under the resounding title of Siberian Magic. The reticence wore off in a week or two under the influence of an entire lack of general curiosity.***“I wish you would turn me into a wolf, Mr. Bilsiter,” said his hostess at luncheon the day after his arrival.“My dear Mary,” said Colonel Hampton, “I never knew you had a craving in that direction.”“A she-wolf, of course,” continued Mrs. Hampton; “it would be too confusing to change one’s sex as well as one’s species at a moment’s notice.”“I don’t think one should jest on these subjects,” said Leonard.“I’m not jesting, I’m quite serious, I assure you. Only don’t do it to-day; we have only eight available bridge players, and it would break up one of our tables. To-morrow we shall be a larger party. To-morrow night, after dinner—”***“If our hostess has really vanished out of human form,” said Mrs. Hoops, “none of the ladies of the party can very well remain. I absolutely decline to be chaperoned by a wolf!”“It’s a she-wolf,” said Clovis soothingly.The correct etiquette to be observed under the unusual circumstances received no further elucidation. The sudden entry of Mary Hampton deprived the discussion of its immediate interest.***

unearths some literary gems.
From Sights and Spectacles, by Mary McCarthy:
***Odets and Steinbeck[s’] . . . frequent ascents into “fine writing” are punctuated with pauses for applause that are nearly audible.***Mr. Maxwell Anderson, having already taken his title from Keats, presented one of his characters with the whole of Eliot’s Sweeney Among the Nightingales, which was recited twice and served once to bring down a curtain which might otherwise have stayed up forever.***Harvey, with its rabbit six feet tall, is the talk of the country, but this will not insure the next producer against the failure of a play about a short giraffe.***Though [the plays of George Kelly] are performed by actors, their complete cast of characters is not listed on the program, their real heroes being glasses of water, pocketbooks, telephones, and after-dinner coffee cups.***The Hamlet echo is part of the joke, like a Mona Lisa on a moustache.***[In Congreve], physical existence itself is the jest.***These plays are not contemptible . . . . But the heavy workmanship of these structures is out of all proportion to their function; it is as though one were to make an umbrella out of solid marble.***

Dictionary.com dates the expression "flying blind" to World War II, but of course it's as old as aviation and frequently appears in print during World War I. For example, there's this from the Irish Times: "The pilots, flying blind through the clouds" (Oct. 9, 1918).
Today's owl with a paper bag over its head flying blind into a jack-o'-lantern house is from We Can Read Magic and Make-believe Book Two by Gerrard & McInnes, 1965.

unearths some literary gems.
From The Emerald City of Oz, by L. Frank Baum:
[In case Rigmarole Town is new to you, as it was to me (until Gore Vidal, of all people, pointed me to it).]"Is this Rigmarole Town?""Sir," replied the boy, "if you have traveled very much you will have noticed that every town differs from every other town in one way or another and so by observing the methods of the people and the way they live as well as the style of their dwelling places it ought not to be a difficult thing to make up your mind without the trouble of asking questions whether the town bears the appearance of the one you intended to visit or whether perhaps having taken a different road from the one you should have taken you have made an error in your way and arrived at some point where—""Land sakes!" cried Aunt Em, impatiently; "what's all this rigmarole about?""That's it!" said the Wizard, laughing merrily. "It's a rigmarole because the boy is a Rigmarole and we've come to Rigmarole Town.""Do they all talk like that?" asked Dorothy, wonderingly."He might have said 'yes' or 'no' and settled the question," observed Uncle Henry."Not here," said Omby Amby. "I don't believe the Rigmaroles know what 'yes' or 'no' means."While the boy had been talking several other people had approached the wagon and listened intently to his speech. Then they began talking to one another in long, deliberate speeches, where many words were used but little was said. But when the strangers criticised them so frankly one of the women, who had no one else to talk to, began an address to them, saying:"It is the easiest thing in the world for a person to say 'yes' or 'no' when a question that is asked for the purpose of gaining information or satisfying the curiosity of the one who has given expression to the inquiry has attracted the attention of an individual who may be competent either from personal experience or the experience of others to answer it with more or less correctness or at least an attempt to satisfy the desire for information on the part of the one who has made the inquiry by—"[...]"If those people wrote books," Omby Amby remarked with a smile, "it would take a whole library to say the cow jumped over the moon."

Bad advice! "Never fear the winding road that projects into tomorrow." In St. Ives, Cornwall, a very narrow one-way winding road led terrifyingly to a steep staircase not suitable for cars. It required a 15-point turn to get out of that deathtrap. Seriously, one was envisioning a helicopter rescue. Indeed, the winding road that projects into tomorrow may possibly be malefic.

It can be difficult to distinguish between spirits and scientists: both speak in weird voices, make loud unexplained noises, exude funky odors, and/or cause random electrical malfunctions. If contact is made with an unfriendly spirit or scientist, instruct the entity to return from whence it came. If the spirit or scientist refuses to leave, the next step is to engage someone experienced in exorcisms or house clearings.

unearths some literary gems.
Snippets from some Gore Vidal essays:
[From "American Plastic: The Matter of Fiction." Just look at the percentage of "barth-" in this passage!] Barthes has also had a significant (or signifying) effect on a number of American writers, among them Mr. Donald Barthelme. Two years ago Mr. Barthelme was quoted as saying that the only American worth reading are John Barth, Grace Paley, William Gass, and Thomas Pynchon.
[Ditto] Twice, by the way, I have used the word "thing" in this paragraph. I grow suspicious...of all things and their shadows, words.
[from "Why I Am Eight Years Younger Than Anthony Burgess"--ha!] Under another name, Burgess had reviewed one of his own books....I was delighted....Shouldn't there be in all of England at least one review written by someone who had actually read the book?
[from "Who Makes the Movies?"] For every Joe Mankiewicz or Preston Sturges there are a dozen Xs and Ys, not to mention the depressing Z.
