“We had a loved one last month who was found drowned. He had been in the ocean a month and they only identified him by his wrist-watch. “they fixed that stiff,” said the hostess disconcertingly lapsing from the high diction she had hitherto employed, ‘so he looked like it was his wedding day. The boys up there surely know their job. Why if he’d sat on an atom bomb, they’d make him presentable.”
Evelyn Waugh, “The Loved One”, 1948.
