' you bring the foot which is on the ground to the side of the one which is in the air, and remain motionless. Latin Teacher: In this verse, what is meant by the line, ' The shades of night were falling fast? ' Pupil: It means that someone was pulling down the curtains.

Miss Andrews (History IVA): Speaking of different nationalities, I can call you Germans, Italians, Greeks, Negroes, or even REDS, can ' t I Miss Leach?
