"Owing to the bold and dashing hand in which this writing had been inscribed, a person seeing it for the first time, as Monty was doing, had a momentary illusion that there was more of it than was really the case. The wall seemed not so much a wall with writing on it as a mass of writing with a wall somewhere in the background. In actual fact, the complete opus, if one may so call it, consisted of two phrases: one over the mirror, the other to the left of it. The first ran 'Hi Baby', the second 'Hello there sweetie.'" - P. G. Wodehouse, The Luck of the Bodkins
