Wow! I don't think I've ever read this one ...

Sounds like a British Hemingway speaker ....
I truly thought that if you were in the house, this wouldn't last long. If you haven't read it, it's just your thing. But I bet you have.

Hmmmm .... settling into the roost [disclaimer: I've had memory blocks all day on remembering names] ... it's definitely British, and for some reason I'm thinking female British author .....

"'A little, houseless match, it has no roof, no thatch,
It lies alone, it makes no moan, that little, houseless match.'"

"...headlines from the Daily Express which the children had made into a chant and intoned to each other all day.
Jassy: 'Man's long agony in a lift-shaft.'
Victoria: 'Slowly crushed to death in a lift.'"

Of course! I knew you'd have read it.

OK - here's a fun one:

Hmmm...sounds like a detective book to me.

It sounds like Sherlock Holmes, so I'll try The Hound of the Baskervilles. However, I think Holmes' quote was "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, ..." and I really have no idea in which book he said it.

You are correct about the Holmes quote, but incorrect here. Not Sherlock!

Ok, you've asked for it so here it is:-
'
Rob McKenna had two hundred and thirty-one different types of rain entered in his little book, and he didn’t like any of them.'
