If that lawyer was your neighbor, you'd probably be done for if you did something bad to them.

I think this quote means that during a cold April, people would gather inside to become warm.

  • "A lie stands on one leg, truth on two."' 21.


    This saying might mean that lies can be seen through and can be disproved more easily than a truth.

"A child thinks 20 years and 20 shillings can scarce ever be spent" - when you are a child, you are very young and still have more to learn. You think that getting older will take forever, and that much money seems like a fortune to you.
