"Did I ever tell you about my married life, Sally?"
"No, never. I knew you had been married, of course."
"You'd have liked Joe. Everybody did. I loved him. His trouble was, he was so weak. Just a rabbit who couldn't say 'Boo' to a goose."
Sally knew that the number of rabbits capable of saying "Boo" to geese was very limited, but she did not point this out.
