...know how many locksmiths there are in Cambridge," Sullivan said, "but I imagine they'll be rather busy...
...exaltation of sopranos." No, gentlemen, this is not the game. If we wished to point up the origin of the pates, we might serve up a gaggle (though, more strictly, geese are a gaggle only when on water; they are a skein when in flight, I don't know what they are on a plate, minced).

Experienced smudgers know that the unspeakable 26-degree cold will instantaneously disintegrate ears, fingers, heads, or any other parts of the body left uncovered, and so they dress with a ferocious passion, trying to save their lives. When they are finally bundled into two pairs of pants, five or six sweaters...
