I first noticed F. Scott Fitzgerald's use of phrases like "she said accusingly" in "The Great Gatsby" (1925) in his characterization of Tom Buchanan's speech. Yesterday, I searched a PDF of the book for "said", collected examples, and write a cento. Today, I searched the PDF for "Tom" and collected examples with other verbs than "said": Objected Tom crossly. Broke out Tom violently. Demanded Tom suddenly (which appears three times). Corroborated Tom kindly. Interposed Tom quickly. Objected Tom quickly. Broke in Tom quickly . Broke out Tom savagely . Snorted Tom contemptuously. Cried Tom roughly. Demanded Tom harshly. Repeated Tom incredulously. Exclaimed Tom automatically. Continued Tom slowly. Muttered Tom fiercely. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 5 September 2026)
