Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference.

Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way--turnips wouldn't; onions wouldn't; cabbage-heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but...

ISBN: 9781349379118 / Angielski / Miękka / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781537118406 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
