+=head2 v5.13.4 - Lewis Carroll, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
+
+`How the creatures order one about, and make one repeat lessons!' thought Alice;
+`I might as well be at school at once.' However, she got up, and began to repeat
+it, but her head was so full of the Lobster Quadrille, that she hardly knew what
+she was saying, and the words came very queer indeed:--
+
+ "'Tis the voice of the Lobster; I heard him declare,
+ "You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair."
+ As a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose
+ Trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes.'
+
+
+`That's different from what I used to say when I was a child,' said the Gryphon.
+
+`Well, I never heard it before,' said the Mock Turtle; `but it sounds uncommon
+nonsense.'
+
+Alice said nothing; she had sat down with her face in her hands, wondering if
+anything would ever happen in a natural way again.
+
+`I should like to have it explained,' said the Mock Turtle.
+
+`She can't explain it,' said the Gryphon hastily. `Go on with the next verse.'
+
+`But about his toes?' the Mock Turtle persisted. `How could he turn them out
+with his nose, you know?'
+
+`It's the first position in dancing.' Alice said; but was dreadfully puzzled by
+the whole thing, and longed to change the subject.

+=head2 v5.13.3 - Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, "Good Omens"
+
+Look at Crowley, doing 110 mph on the M40 heading towards
+Oxfordshire. Even the most resolutely casual observer would
+notice a number of strange things about him. The clenched teeth,
+for example, or the dull red glow coming from behind his
+sunglasses. And the car. The car was a definite hint.
+
+Crowley had started the journey in his Bentley, and he was
+dammned if he wasn't going to finish it in the Bentley as well.
+Not that even the kind of car buff who owns his own pair of
+motoring goggles would have been able to tell it was a vintage
+Bentley. Not any more. They wouldn't have been able to tell
+that it was a Bentley. They would only offer fifty-fifty that it
+had ever even been a car.
+
+There was no paint left on it, for a start. It might still have
+been black, where it wasn't a rusty, smudged reddish-brown, but
+this was a dull charcoal black. It traveled in its own ball of
+flame, like a space capsule making a particularly difficult
+re-entry.
+
+There was a thin skin of crusted, melted rubber left around the
+metal wheel rims, but seeing that the wheel rims were still
+somhow riding an inch above the road surface this didn't seem to
+make an awful lot of difference to the suspension.
+
+It should have fallen apart miles back.
