Examples
-
A _Lady Marshall_, the wife of a _Sir Everard Marshall_, a comic scientist in perpetual flight from his overwhelming spouse, is one of the sort that finds a new religion every few months and is now in the first fast furious throes of her latest, which is some form of psychomania, whereof the high priest is one _Beverley_, a plausible ringletted charlatan of alcoholic tendencies (_Sludge the Medium_, without his cringe and snarl), who ekes out his spasmodic visitations of genuine psychic illumination with the most shameless spoof.
Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 150, March 29, 1916 Various 1898
