Did you ever see such a sight in your life?

Fighting and kicking (so to speak) I am reconciling myself to the shame of not making good my vow of some months ago to post something here at Honey & Quinine “every day.” Word hicks should understand that this means the same as “every day of the week. ” It is a shame-thing for me. [...]

I’ve had cobwebs, decorating the corners of my soft square head over the last few weeks, to vanquish from my soft head, and since I awoke at 3 am Monday morning, I’ve been doing just that.
