Jimmy Kildare used to get away from the hospital every afternoon and go over to Tom McGuire’s saloon on the avenue. He always drank two beers.

Używamy słowa „łaska” tak, jakbyśmy wiedzieli, co ono oznacza.Ale czy naprawdę rozumiemy, czym jest łaska? Czy zadowoliliśmy się słabiutką łaską, która grzecznie wpasowuje się w wersy hymnu ...

Seeking gold with which to elevate his beggarly fortunes, Clovelly chances to encounter a bully, and his fierce sword work brings him to the attention of Lord Te...
