Beginnings
1 Call 'me Ishmael. - 1851. 2 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. - 1859. 3 One thing was certain: that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it: - it was the black kitten’s fault entirely. — 1871.
4 Mr Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty, and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and. yet somehow lovable. — 1886.
5 He was an inch, perhaps two. under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull. — 1900.
6 I have noticed that when someone asks for you on the telephone and, finding you are out, leaves a message begging you to. call him up the moment you come in. and it’s important, the matter is more often important to him than to you. — 1930.
