The fine house, my good dears, has got inside it a fine family. A Mamma, fair and fat; and a Papa, the fairest and the fattest of all, who is a mighty merchant, up to his eyes in gold - a fine man once, but seeing that he has got a naked head and two chins, fine no longer at the present time.
(from The Woman In White, by William Wilkie Collins)
