It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say "ladies and gentlemen," but a lady should say, "gentlemen and ladies." You mention yo...ur friend's name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, "ladies and gentlemen." It is a lack of good manners.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Hark, all you ladies that do sleep! The fairy queen... Bids you awake, and pity them that weep. You may do in the dark What the day doth forbid. Fear not the dogs that bark; Night will have all hid.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I long to hear that you have declared an independancy [sic]--and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be nec...essary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Laidies [sic] we are determined to foment a Rebelion [sic], and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exerc...ise.
