There’s never anybody to be had but those stupid, half-grown little French boys; and as soon as you do get one broke into your ways and taught something he’s up and off to the lobster canneries or the States.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 7 · C1
He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, p. 25 · B2
The Lobster Quadrille
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, p. 75 · B2
“You may not have lived much under the sea—” (“I haven’t,” said Alice)—“and perhaps you were never even introduced to a lobster—” (Alice began to say “I once tasted—” but checked herself hastily, and said “No, never”) “—so you can have no idea what a delightful thing a Lobster Quadrille is!”
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, p. 75 · B2
