For
my part I keep the Commandments, I love my neighbour as my selfe, and
to avoid Coveting my neighbour's wife I desire to be coveted by her;
which you know is quite another thing. British playwright William Congreve wrote these words on September 27, 1700 to a married lady-friend On
September 27, 1722, a woman named Grace was killed by a Dobhar-chu, while
washing clothes in Glenade Lake. When her husband came to find her, he
found instead a Dobhar-chu sitting on her bloody clothes and mutilated
body. He killed the beast, stabbing it in the heart. As it died, it
made a noise like a whistle. Its supposed mate rose from the water and
chased the man and his friend. They killed it before it got the chance
to hurt either man. One of the common denominators I
have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected. I will have a foreign-handed
foreign policy. Bushisms analysed Bushism of the day Bushisms at Amazon.com Bushism at Wikipedia Bush at Wikiquote More |

Here in a variety of wicker lounges and easy
chairs these luxurious bachelors look down, as if from an eyrie, on to the road beneath and the blue winding river and clustering South Brisbane beyond. It was a lovely, mild, moonlight night with a faint cool breeze coming from the sea.
