The High Street stunk of oil; we wondered how people could live in it. And we walked miles upon miles out Birmingham way; but it was no use, the country was steeped in oil.

I went into the kitchen, found a carving-knife, took it out into the tool-house, and ground the blade very thin on the stone.

Oh, you'd have liked him!" "Evidently," said Lord Plowden, upon reflection, "it was all a most unfortunate and ah most deplorable mistake."
