The Quibbler
He couldn't keep up with the grading. The papers multiplied like hamsters.

The Ghost Writer
Molly had flourished in graduate school and published many peer-reviewed articles deconstructing modern Irish poetry and fiction; she was especially fond of revealing the links between Yeats and experts in, and practitioners of, the occult.
