id planned to present myself wearing the tea cosy at dinner , an hour or two after serving the first cup of tea to my guests . it 's so much easier to be alone than to lose someone . '' `` thank you for everything you did tonight . '' beneath him his horse screamed in terror , and it was all he could do to keep her near the rock wall . `` shall i wear my shorts or a skirt ? '' i deserve at least half of my payment . ''
