Speaking of sentences that don't quite add up, as I was doing in relation to Francis Stuart, here are two from Stuart's great admirer Colm Tóibín, whether or not in conscious homage to Stuart's non sequitur style I don't know. Both are from The Blackwater Lightship:
“Here, the county council had put huge boulders to protect the cliff, but they had no impact.”
“It’s very difficult to get rid of diarrhoea once it starts.”
