“Perhaps it's rude to notice when a wizard does something strange.”
“I have been loved,' she said, 'by something strange, and it has forgotten me.”
“How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!”
“It was strange walking through the empty apartment. My battered purple room was gone, Brittany’s bruised blue was gone. Two coats covered everything. It was like none of it had ever happened.”
“One who sees through the orotundity and sesquipedality in purple prose will say something indicative of notable worth.”
