british-actor defensive divide hats offensive three
Hats divide into three classes: offensive hats, defensive hats, and shrapnel.
blow wind intelligence
The wind of change, whatever it is, blows most freely through an open mind ...
gowns awful comfort
There's comfort to an awful old dressing-gown a pretty peignoir is powerless to provide, and aging bra elastic, is, I suspect, as near to liberation as most women ever get.

A good listener is not someone with nothing to say. A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.

Next and hardy annuals are the ones that never come up at all.
