      [1913 Webster]

            An interjection implies a meaning which it would
            require a whole grammatical sentence to expound, and
            it may be regarded as the rudiment of such a
            sentence. But it is a confusion of thought to rank
            it among the parts of speech.         --Earle.
      [1913 Webster]

            How now! interjections? Why, then, some be of

      [1913 Webster]
