• “This hobbit was a very well-to-do hobbit, and his name was Baggins.” [J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit]
• “Persons attempting to find a Motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a Moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a Plot in it will be shot.” [Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn]
• “Sometimes, the candle barely out, my eyes closed so quickly that I did not have time to tell myself: “I’m falling asleep.”” [Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way]

I see the budding of a vibrant new career for Mr. Schneider.
