- "Gooseberry Hall, the renowned seat of Sir Hildebrod Gooseberry. Mr. Triptolemus Scattergoods has been flattered by having been impropriated by Wildrake Gooseberry, Esq. to submit by the process of public competition to the public the classical contents of Gooseberry Hall, and it may be unhesitatingly be proclaimed as the most brilliant feather that has ever adorned the cap of an auctioneer."--p. [i].
