I stroll out, for want of anything better to do, with Anita, into the market-place of a beastly little country town, to see a silly sort of show-a mixture of a Harvest Festival and a Land Girls' beano-when without a moment's warning-standing up in a decorated wagon-I behold-Rachel!
"Harvest"
Mrs. Humphry Ward
I tell you, laddie, that for a moment I thought I had strayed into a Bishop's beano at Exeter Hall or the Athenaeum or wherever it is those chappies collect in gangs.

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse
We're 'avin' a bit of a beano becos of it."
