Usage:

Well he smaller than I had expected. At least, he's not the brawny specimen of British manhood he appears or film. Rather thin and well-dressed, soft spoken and polite. A mild joker in a veddy British way. "I'm an absolute tea-fiend. Get me some immediately, or else I shall have to inject it into my veins." (Take that damn foreigner down to Harlem.) A refined version of the feline eyes, two-coloured hair, the endearingly bumpy nose projected on the movie-screen. The Oxford accent, my dear, of course unmistakable: but not an affected one. Rather...

Readers who may have wondered ever since freshman English what it feels like to have an arm torn off by Beowulf in Hrothgar's meadhall can now relax. It hurts like the devil. "I bawl like a baby.

You kill things better than you, and what can I say to you that you don't already know...

...Well, we start at the Coop again. The record department is on the second floor of the annex, and it is fairly complete, especially if you are a classical fiend. But if you like country blues, folk, or just rock, the Coop is a pretty good deal. The prices are low. If you are just looking for rock, then you should look at Cheap Thrills (1003 Mass Ave.).
