snowyday Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I went to the store the other day to buy a bolt for our front door, for as I told the storekeeper, the governor was coming here. “Aye,: said he, “and the legislature too.†“Then I will take two bolts,†said I. He said that there had been a steady demand for bolts and locks of late, for our protectors were coming. Henry David Thoreau, The Journal, Sept. 8, 1859. * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
