"They were just as unpleasing as he had seen that they would be. He had once read a novel by Rosie M. Banks, the gifted authoress who had married his fellow member of the Drones Bingo Little, and it still lingered in his memory. The title, 'By Honour Bound', had put him off a bit because his tastes lay more in the direction of tales with plenty of blood and lots of gangsters in them, but Bingo had practically forced the thing on him, and to his surprise it had impressed him profoundly." --"Pearls, Girls, and Monty Bodkin" by P.G. Wodehouse
You know, I never realized how much passive language and introspection the guy uses. Hah! Fancy that!

Thanks for tagging me! LOL But I already did this last week. I tagged RG who tagged Eden who probably tagged Eva! ROFL :-)
Now how did I know you were going to tag me? Brat! LOL
:-P~~~~
oopsies, sorry Michelle- wht goes around comes around. :-)
and Heather, it's because you are such a good sport. Plus, the rotten tomatoes can't reach this far. :-)
You know, when I first got this challenge I was tempted to write that my picture books don't have 123 pages, but I knew Eva has a brood of about a hundred and sixty children, so is no doubt experienced with brats and would come over here and paddle me if I misbehaved.
That's ok, I could post another one but... :-)
ROFL on the hundred and sixty kids for Eva! That must be some household!
I love that story! But then, I'm completely in love with Jeeves.
