The variants of these various phrases that I am familiar with are -
'... she said, gaily waving her wooden leg in the air' usually in reference to possible double meaning in something said just before - along the lines of '... as the Bishop said to the Actress.'
'I see, said the blind man' in response to some revelation.
Both phrases were picked up from my grandmother, born in the latter part of Victoria's reign.
'Ooh, it's agony, Ivy' was a radio catch phrase (often used around my Auntie Ivy.)
"Teehee!" quod she, and clapte the window to" deserves to be used more often!
