It's especially fun when you look up a word and find that it cites the very quotation which caused you to consult a dictionary in the first place. A few days ago, I looked up "dog" and found the passage in Leave it to Psmith ("You'll pick up your dogs and run round as quick as you can make it.") I had just read. The funny thing is that the speaker of that sentence is supposed to be talking in exaggerated American dialect, but using "dogs" to mean "feet" sounds very British to me. Then again, the third citation for the same sense is from The Grapes of Wrath.
