You nearly killed eight people! I managed to gasp out loud. My count was closer to twelve, returned Havisham as she opened the door. And anyhow, you can't nearly kill someone. Either they are dead or they are not.
Jasper Fforde
You have many fine qualities that I admire. But you are out of time. You should have been born a century ago, when values such as yours meant something.

Her majesty is one verb short of a sentence.
