After a while he met two girls arm in arm with a young man, with whom they flirted recklessly. Harris asked whether they had seen his wife. One of the girls inquired how she looks. Harris knew enough Dutch to describe the ladies ' room and tells the wife the most General way, as a beautiful woman of medium height. This did not satisfy them - the signs were inadequate; commercials any man can lay claim to a beautiful woman and ask yourself a foreign wife! They wanted to know how she was dressed, but that Harris could not recall for any price. I doubt whether the man can remember, was dressed as a woman, if it took more than ten minutes from the time of their separation. Harris, however, realized that his wife was a blue skirt and then something from the waist to the neck, what is this skirt held...

Or does the value of what was said by anyone about anything? In fact, because thankfully both sides have rarely considered other people's opinion. This truth must be very comforting for writers, publishers and critics.

But I am not like that. I can't sit difficult hand and idly watch as someone works up a sweat. I immediately feel the need to stand up and to dispose of, and I walk with his hands in his pockets, and lead. I an active by nature. There's nothing you can do about it.

In this case I had all the signs of liver disease (this was impossible to be mistaken), including the main symptom, "apathy and insurmountable aversion to any kind of work."

Strange and inconceivable thing - twine. You stack her rings with such great patience and caution as if you were folding a new pair of pants, and five minutes later, you take her, she has turned into some horrible, hideous tangle.
I don't want to be the accuser, but I firmly believe that if you take the most ordinary twine, pulling it on level ground in a straight line, turn my back for thirty seconds and then look at it again, it would appear that she had managed to gather together, to curl, and tied in knots, and lost both ends, and into a solid loop. And you'll need a good half hour to sit on the grass and cursing again to straighten it out.
