A.J. Cronin

The author creates a comic effect with this unexpected ending of the sentence.

2. They were going to give him a free hand, back him up with their immense authority, turn him loose on his clinical research. “But, gentlemen”, Billy suddenly pipped, shuffling himself a new deal from his coat pockets, “before Doctor Manson goes on with this problem, before we can feel ourselves at liberty to allow him to concentrate his efforts upon it, there is another and, more pressing matter, which I feel he ought to take up.”

A.J. Cronin

3. “Perhaps it’s a call, Chris! Think of it! My first Aberalaw case.”

S.Lewis Anaphora

1. He told her she was a sweet, exquisite child. He told her he had been a brute to her but that for the rest of his life he would be a carpet – not red, since she interjected her objection to that colour – on which she might tread. He told her much more than that.

Here the author uses a serial repetition of the phrase “he told her” at the beginning of 3 consecutive sentences.

2. She laughed till the tears ran down her cheeks. She laughed so hard that he sat up, concerned.

A.J. Cronin
