He got into a restless habit of strolling about when the cause was on, or expected, talking to the little shopkeepers, and telling ’em to keep out of Chancery, whatever they did. ‘For,’ says he, ‘it’s being ground to bits in a slow mill; it’s being roasted at a slow fire; it’s being stung to death by single bees; it’s being drowned by drops; it’s going mad by grains.’
— from Bleak House, by Charles Dickens
