Agreed, agreed! The most striking example is where the repetition is itself repeated from one book to another:

"It's moving! It's moving!" said by the D's as the sailing sledge gets under way in Winter Holiday, to be followed almost immediately by Dorotheas's "Don't let go! Don't let go!"
"It's moving! It's moving!" said as the stone is lifted for Titty's well in Pigeon Post.
