— Mark Twain
(Entirely cromulent Christmas present: Autobiography of Mark Twain, Complete & Authoritative, Vol. 1.)

D.A. Ridgely
D.A. Ridgely holds degrees in philosophy and law. (He doesn't really hold them, they just hang there on the wall or peek out as initials after his name. (Actually, that isn't true, either. Those are mere symbols giving evidence of his possession of those degrees. (“Possession,” strictly speaking, being a metaphor of sorts.))) (He is overly fond of parenthetical expressions.)
