power whatsoever – except that of taking money out of their pockets without their

drink the health of Mrs Washington. Madam, I salute you (WATP, 24).
42. Martha: But for our friends across the water, we should have never attained that unity.
As we are all Virginians here, I may confess, that there was a time when I did not love

8. I leave it to you (Ford, GS, 220).
9. I forbid you to talk abot these things… (Ford, GS, 206).
10. … I swear to you that they were the model couple (Ford, GS, 15).
