A few snippets from Wodehouse essays:
[from "To the Editor: Sir..."]A novel, after all, is rather a commercial sort of affair. A letter to the papers is Art for Art's sake.[from "An Outline of Shakespeare"]The fact that the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth appears this year....[That's the beginning of the piece; and, as I did the math, I found myself puzzled, because neither the date of its original publication, nor that of its being reissued in the collection in which I found it, seemed to match up with the 400th anniversary of the Bard's birth. But then I reread PGW's sentence--and noticed that he never said it was the 400th anniversary, or any particular anniversary at all! Technically, all he said was that Shakespeare's birthday was on the calendar that year. Ha![ditto]"Is there anything else!" cried Shakespeare. "Why, there's nothing else but something else."[from "Prospects for Wambledon"]It simply shows--well, I cannot at the moment think just what it does show, but it obviously has a significance of some sort.[I'm including that just because it's some sort of JC-E precursor.][from "Fashionable Weddings and Smart Divorces"][a couple of bride's family-groom's family pairings]Bootle - BartholomewMumbleby - Packsmith

unearths some literary gems.
From Much Ado about Me, by Fred Allen:
***With his dark beady eyes and the big cigar jutting out of his mouth, Sam looked like an animated but partly melted snowman.***The Professor's mouth was an adjective hutch.***For their finish the brothers donned one large harlequin costume and, dancing close together, executed intricate steps with such precision it appeared that only one person, with two heads, was dancing.***[Can you spot what's wrong with the name of this circuit? (:v> Allen does not seem to notice anything amiss.]The Interstate was a big-time circuit that operated theaters in Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.***Harold, with his various writing assignments, was busier than an octopus going through a revolving door.[Once again (cf. decopus w/ umbrella tucked under arm), I must protest that an octopus would, in fact, be *overqualified* to get through a revolving door without maxing out its resources.]***He looked like a toy that some child had wound up and forgotten to play with.***Leonard Sillman...was the loudest dancer I have ever heard. He trod the heavy fantastic.***[Bonus 1: I learned that "Christmas in July" was a real "thing" for entertainers, back in the day, because they typically had to work through the holidays, but often had summers off, and congregated in vacation communities where they would indulge in an off-season Yule on July 4th.][Bonus 2: a comedy trio called Darn, Good, and Funny][Bonus 3: A "female impersonator" called Raymonde who had two entire layers of gender-bending: he did his act as a woman, then took off a wig to reveal himself as a man, then took *that* wig off to reveal more "feminine" hair, then finally revealed himself as a man again. Doing the math, it seems that Raymonde (pre-)one-upped Victor/Victoria, who had only three quarters of this equation.][Bonus 4: an entertainer named George Hassell whose favorite oath was "God's trousers!"][Bonus 5: Allen uses the phrase "avocado tears" where one would normally say "crocodile tears." I was guessing he arrived there via "alligator pear"--and Google Books brings up no other instance of this phrase--but general results show that "avocado tears" has a presence in contemporary times, though what comes up on a quick search are things like user names and music-artist names, rather than contextualized usage of the term.][Bonus 6: an act called "Disappointments of 1927" in which every act Allen tries to introduce phones in to say they're not coming]

"[Joaquin Miller] said, 'And you, what's your name,' and I said, 'Henry Saroyan.'""If he asked me, I would have said, 'Puddin tame, ask me again, I'll tell you the same.'""Ah, you don't say that when Wahkeen Miller asks you. He's an old man."

unearths some literary gems.
Snippets from stories by Noel Coward:
***[from "Traveler's Joy"]
He was no fool, he often told himself, none of that painful mutton-dressed-as-lamb business for him! Why, he had voluntarily given up playing Juveniles years ago when he was a bare forty-five.
***
[from "What Mad Pursuit?"]
"What's bred in the bone comes out in the what have you."
"I'd rather listen to Irene than Jeritza, Ponselle and Flagstad all together in a lump." Evan, repressing a shudder at the thought of Jeritza, Ponselle and Flagstad all together in a lump, agreed wholeheartedly.
[Bonus 1: There's a character in this story whose conversational tic is to say "who shall be nameless," sometimes immediately *after* having already named the person he's speaking about (e.g., "Bonwit, who shall be nameless, got so fried...;" "that's Dwight Macadoo who shall be nameless"). Eventually, we see that this habit extends beyond actual persons: "a cowboy in Arizona...rounding up all those Goddamned steers--who shall be nameless."]
[Bonus 2: Enter a pair of Alsatian dogs named Chico and Zeppo. So just when you expect Harpo, Coward zags (or zeps) on us!]
***
[from "Stop Me If You've Heard It]
"Please, God," she whispered to herself. "Don't let it be the one about the Englishman and the Scotsman and the American in the railway carriage, nor the one about the old lady and the parrot...."
***
[from "Star Quality"]
The clock on the mantelpiece struck five very quickly, as though it were in a hurry.
"She's as merry as a cartload of grigs, whatever they may be."
***
[from "Bon Voyage"]
"More than one rhetorical question in one sentence always bewilders me," said Eldrich.
"Dio mio! As my old grandmother used to say."
"Mine always said 'Madonna mia.'"
[...]
"Ciao for now, as my other old grandmother used to say."
[Bonus: a character called Mrs. Bagel]
***
