Dear teachers,

Dr. Mercer, the head doctor, he couldn’t be more charming. Knows Bob Hawthorne,…and as soon as I told him, I know Bob, the sky was the limit. (J. O. Hara, “Assembly”)
“And you don’t want Grieb know that you’re interested in it?”
“No, aside from that, the sky’s the limit. You can work any scheme on him you want to.” (F. S. Gardner, “The Case of Dangerous Dowager”)
