A COMMON ALTERNATIVE.
“Say, what's to be done with this window, dear Jack?The cold rushes through it at every crack.”
Quoth John: “I know little of carpenter-craft,
But I think, my dear wife, you will have to go through
The very same process that other folks do,—
That is, you must list or submit to the draught!”
