i would have preferred a lump of cheese myself . the sucker clicks on my teeth . enough to tell her that the man had n't always worn fancy suits . so now would be a bad time to tell your dad that we almost drowned the truck ? she opened one of the glass doors , reached inside , and drew out a bottle of gin . he brushed his palm on his trousers . she opened her eyes and all she saw was a burning river . my effect on them had worn off or they were new guards .
