And satin sandals and say we've no money for butter

Family dinner. "Eat your stew before you get an ice cream treat."
"but I wan a iceem cone"
"I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells, and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens and learn to spit."
"Maybe I ought to praactise a little now so people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old and start to wear purple."
