Some people say that you’re a dear, yet dear is far from cheap. A jumper is a thing you wear, yet a jumper has to leap. It’s very clear, it’s very queer, and pray who is to blame for different meanings to some words pronounced and spelt the same? A little journey is a trip, a trip is when you fall. It doesn’t mean you have to dance whene’er you hold a ball.
