I think I have restored all of them - if you find one that is missing, let me know by P.M.
Rather than explaining, I will merely tell you a story. It is in T. H. White's
The Sword in the Stone, and goes to show - uh - something. It's my own paraphrase, from memory. Here you go:
Quote:
It's a nasty hot day in the summer. Everyone's nerves are frazzled (is that the word I want? Oh, never mind.)
Anyhow, Wart (the future King Arthur) comes to pester Merlin the magician, to ask him for a project or an adventure, or SOMETHING.
Merlin asks "what is it you want?"
"Turn me and Kay into snakes or something..." (I'd say "dragon" but that was the cause of MY own problem, hee hee)
To which Merlin replies, in a fit of anger, "Castor and Pollux blow me to Bermuda!" and he promptly vanishes.
Wart stares at Archimedes the Owl, wondering if C&P really did blow him to Bermuda (whatever THAT is).
A minute or so later, Merlin re-appears, hat missing, robes all twisted. (perhaps a half-drunk Margarita in hand, heh heh)
Wart looks at him curiously. "Sir?"
Merlin brushes himself off. "Let this be a lesson to you, boy - NOT TO SWEAR".
