Confusion Over Exact Meaning Of

The confusion Of words described

word fast. You have a horse that

you have a horse and you tie him
with a rope and he il fast. You
have a young man who is very
bad and you say he IL fast; and
another good man who eats no
meat on Friday and you say he

this story says:
a difference of opinion of the
meaning Of the words CALI and

me a most awkward and embar-

would suit 20 have me call 10 see
them during my stay. They wrote
back that they would like very
much to have the three of us visit
them.
when we arrived at the station,
there waited my husbands rela-
tives and also the relative Of my
friend. Each family expecting ns
to come home with them. My
husbands relatives were very
much put out and said they had
taken 1t for granted we were

did their asking us to visit
them mean something different
than my asking to call? Shouldn't
they have asked us to stay with
them? preferred to go to the
hotel with the children"
You were perfectly right in your
use of the word cali because
that means nothing but TO go to
see someone for short time. But
1t is true that we also go To visit
and that means To stay In the
house. "Nisit with" is colloquial
English Visit Aunt Mary means
stay In the house with Aunt Mary.
So, II they saids"visit us" they cor
rectly meant they hoped you would
I stay in their house. And yet, to
pay a visit is an ambiguous phrase,

phrases whose meanings could

but neither of them heard her as
she closed the door.
She was smiling but she felt 40
weak she could scarcely stand.
She had walked out Of the kitchen
that morning leaving her dishes
unwashed. an unprecedented pro-

them she had to sit down and give
her racing pulse chance to slow

A cup of coffee was what she

But that was because she woke

had been dreaming nearly every
night about her nephew. The sight
of Joan's resentment was like a
slow poison. And Miss Van. know

had begun to brood over his dis
appearance.
Finds Nothing
Several times a day she took
out the leather brief case he had
left, examining all the papers
notes he had taken at medical
school-to see if there was any
hidden message which might indi-
cate his intention 10 run away.
But there was nothing.
It might be better, she told her

case. The next time a salesman
came to her door who looked az If
he needed one she would offer il
to him.

of the only possession he had left
behind him would never heal the
wound in her heart
She was reused from her reverie
by Dudley Manton, who came
downstairs to ask her to pack
Daphne's clothes. His heavy face
was beaming.
