   This very morning I have enountered that device in Peter Taylor for   
   the second time, but it is the first time that I have found the time   
   (time, time, time...) to quote it:   
      
   > They were on their wa downstairs again now, and by the time they   
   > had finished with this favorite subject the would be downstairs.   
   > They would be in the dark, flower-bedecked downstairs hall and   
   > just before entering the dining room for the promised   
   > refreshments: the fruit jello, the English tea biscuits, the lime   
   > punch.   
   >   
   > And now foor a moment Mr. Dorset bars the way to the dining room   
   > and prevents is sister from opening the closed door. "Now, my   
   > good friends," he says, "let us eat, drink, and be merry!"   
   >   "For the night is yet young," says his sister.   
   >   "Tonight you must be gayt are carefree," Mr. Dorset enjoins.   
   >   "Because in this house we are all frieds," Miss Dorset says.   
   > "We are all young, we all love one another."   
   >   "And love cab make ys all yound forever," her brother says.   
   >   "Remember!"   
   >   "Remember this evening always, sweet young people!"   
   >   "Remember!"   
   >   "Remember what our life is like here!"   
   >   And now Miss Dorset, with one hand on the knob of the great   
   > door which she is about to throw open, leans a little towards the   
   > guests and whispers hoarsely: "This is what it is like to be   
   > young forever!"
