   • 1959, Enid Blyton, The Ragamuffin Mystery:

     “The man who took your letter, Snubby, […] won't be able to decode it — and if he could, he'd only read a lot of rubbish!”
     “Well, I like that!” said Snubby indignantly. “Bruce and I don't write rubbish, let me tell you.”

   • 2015, Amber Jo Illsley, Reilly - Running Full Circle:

     “Well of course,” Reilly said. “Am I not a wondrous cat, all-seeing, all powerful etcetera?”
     “I like the all-seeing a lot better,” Katie said sleepily, and promptly went to sleep.
     “Huh, I like that! I really like that!” Reilly snapped. “Women! You just can't trust them these days! Huh, huh, huh!”
