But Thel delights in these no more because I fade away

"I admit my articulation is defective- has been ever since a
fellow backed into my car at Brooklands, did it twenty pounds'
worth of damage, and then sent in a bill for a new tail-lamp. At

terre. Je ne veux pas qu'elle danse dans le sang. Ce serait d'un
tres mauvais presage.
HERODIAS. Qu'est-ce que cela vous fait qu'elle danse dans le sang?
Vous avez bien marche dedans, vous . . .
