Her book charmed her; it was a story telling of the life she loved and longed for of the gay, glad world. Unfortunately all the people in the book were noble, heroic, and ideal.
The Romans began their noonday meal with eggs, and ended with a dessert; ab ovo ad malum. Certainly the most nutritious of all things eatable or drinkable is the substance, or fluid, called milk. It becomes blood almost immediately, and then flesh, or muscle, as was designed by the Creator.
