Hear the loud alarum bells –
Brazen bell!
What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
/Dean Koontz Cold Fire/
He is one of those brand-new hotshots, grew up on Perry Mason, thinks he’s smarter than he is. /Jonathan Kellerman The Clinic/
Checking Your Progress:
Exercise 4.6. Read the following sentences and point out cases of proverbs and sayings, decomposition of set phrase, quotation and allusions (say where they are taken from). Speak about the effect produced:
Example:
Carver didn’t feel like making small or large talk with anyone. “Private beach down here,” he said, keeping his voice amiable. /John Lutz Blood Fire/
The author shows that Carver did not want any company. This idea is rendered through decomposition of the set phrase “to make a small talk” = light conversation on unimportant subjects, in which the word “small” revives an independent meaning with addition of the word “large”. His announcement “private beach’ also hints at his preference to be alone.
And how does this tie in with Tom Chelgrin and his daughter? I have to tell you, curiosity got me in nearly as bad as the proverbial cat. /Dean Koontz The Key To Midnight/
His smile was warm. “You’re not just a half brother. You’re a brother and a half.” /Dean Koontz False Memory/
Trisha sat where she was for a moment, turning her face up to the sun and closing her eyes. Then she dragged her pack into her lap and put her hands inside, mixing the berries and nuts together. Doing this made her think of Uncle scrooge McDuck playing around in his money-vault, and she laughed delightedly. /Stephen King The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon/
Alan was sitting in front of a huge mural which depicted a medley of Mother Goose rhymes. One section of the mural showed a man leaning across a table, holding something out to a boy. […] Something about this particular image had struck Alan, and a snatch of childhood rhyme rose like a whisper in his mind:
Simple Simon met a pie-man
going to the fair.
“Simple Simon,” said the pie-man,
“come and taste my wares!”
/Stephen King Needful Things/
“Cascade, Colorado,” Skeet said, pronouncing it as if it were a magical place, home to wizards and gryphons and unicorns. /Dean Koontz False Memory/
Madness sometimes ran in families, didn’t it? Like father like son. /Dean Koontz The Vision/
Looking at the fox-tail in the display window of Needful Things, it struck him that it had been the best day of his life, one of the last days before the booze had caught him in its rubbery, pliant grip, turning him into a weird variation of King Midas: everything he touched since then, it seemed had turned to shit. /Stephen King Needful Things/
In the investigation business you always tried to kill two or three birds with one stone to justify the expense of long excursions. /James Herbert Others/
“Everybody’s making such a big deal about ten-year-olds with Uzis but it’s just Fagin and the street rats with a little technology thrown in, right?” /Joseph Kellerman The Clinic/
To the real birds above, Jim whispered, “’Quoth the Raveb, Nevermore.’” /Dean Koontz Cold Fire/
