We can't seem to settle on our fourth and fifth men, either. We've tried a lot of different combinations, and we're just not settling on a fourth or fifth man who can shoot a consistent score.”
Jeff Gordon
“The Prince and Princess of Dickens contest has been extended through the end of September. We currently have 10 contestants.”

“The intent was to scare the dickens out of the folks and make (the amendments) look as bad as possible.”

Jonathan Coe
“Whilst some may argue that Dickens is really too big a morsel to be swallowed by text, the Great Inimitable himself began working life as a short hand writer,”
John Sutherland
