A. sit through a trial worrying their heads off trying to remember the law so that they can keep out of the record things that might make them look like jackasses when the case is carried up to a higher court, and while they are thinking so hard about the law they forget all about the poor little trifle called justice.
The man saluted. They were in motion. 'What was all the row about? asked Gerald, in wondering excitement. 'I walked away with Birkin's letter, she said, and he saw the crushed paper in her hand.

If you write a book though now, you must just pitch it out of window and say, 'Ho! all you jackasses, come and trample on it and trample it into mud, or go on till you are tired." He laughed heartily at this explosion. His laughter struck me humour controlling his wrath and in a sense ABOVE it, as if the final word were by no means hatred or contempt, even for the jackass.

A retort from Leonard was welcome in Ethel's ears, and she quite developed his conversational powers, in an argument on the sagacity of all canine varieties.

Pelicans, penguins, darters and seals captured and swallowed scores of swift slippery fishes for her pleasure.
And as these two jolly jackasses rode past at my right side I could see the thumb of long Boris curving towards the ribs of his companion, and the shoulders of both shaking as they chuckled.
