P.G. Wodehouse disproves the theory that if *every* page is a highlight, then the book has *no* highlights.

He didn't care how unimportant a given scene was, in terms of the big plot or themes; why not make it shine anyway?

I see "claret" mostly in English fiction and thought they were weak-ass watered down red wines. It took #VincentPrice to explain that those California reds I used to enjoy, like #Zinfandels and #Barberas, are indeed clarets, but the North American custom is to refer to the grape and not the classification.

I'm sorry, #EvelynWaugh, #NancyMitford, #AnthonyTrollope, and #PGWodehouse, for believing for scores of years your characters could not handle real alcohol.
