Two such upstanding lawyers would be as one on pretty well everything held dear to the cold, dead hearts of neo-libs. For example, the spoils of the TURC, while most welcome to the fraternity, would be as loose change, a bagatelle to be sipped and savoured with the evening cognac. <br />But, put the two of them within cooee of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_in_Services_Agreement" rel="nofollow">Trade in Services Agreement</a> and warm bonds of familial love would envelop them both.

Nothing appeals.<br />There is a whole chapter devoted to the care of an invalid. One should never whisper in the sick room. It alarms the patient. The recipe for beef tea was more alarming to my mind.<br />There is an ad on the inside cover for a wedding cake storage box.
