"Returning his pen to its holder, he told……" — Patrick deWitt

"Returning his pen to its holder, he told us, 'I will have him gutted with that scythe. I will hang him by his own intestines.' At this piece of dramatic exposition, I could not hep but roll my eyes. A length of intestines would not carry the weight of a child, much less a full grown man."

— Patrick deWitt
