Delegate Edwards said that when the ruler prepared to marry his 301st wife, the others forced him to renounce this plan by abandoning the Shah en masse, seeking sanctuary in the British Legation. Red as a beet, Iranian Delegate Nasrollah Entezam demanded that this tale be expunged from the record...
...typical Dvario Vasco. "He cannot walk back along this thorny path; but, a Spaniard before a Monarch, he will be the first to rejoice in a free, strong Spain." As the Saint's Day was also that of all Spaniards who happen to be named Alfonso, plenty of Reds also celebrated in Red territory-for to many a Spaniard things superficially religious are basically just Spanish. Thus last spring, during Holy week in Seville, a group of particularly resolute Communists, wearing Red arm bands with the hammer & sickle, with the holsters of pistols peeping from their pockets, escorted through...
...homing pigeons but utterly unable to fly, their efforts to get off the ground cause them to somersault backward. Single Tumblers flop over once, Double Tumblers twice. Parlor Rollers will roll 75 ft. backward without stopping. ¶ Most numerous were 600 Kings-large, white birds with big, bright red feet. Handsomest were varicolored, round-breasted Modenas.

Not until...
...northern shrimps are tender and delicious when cooked., and, at least to this prejudiced writer, quite as good as lobsters if not actually better. They average from five to eight inches long when market-sized. They are bright red in color, differing in this respect from the southern shrimps which are green, and generally live on muddy bottom in depths of 60 to 100 fathoms. That is not an easy place for small boats to reach with their limited gear. Fortunately the shrimps come into shallower water near the shore during the winter, where they can more conveniently be taken...
