Re: 'Cruel and unusual'
in reply to a message by Bex
Cruel and unusual would be something which actually has a derogatory or ridiculous connotation, which, as ugly as they are, isn't the case for Eggbert and Ethelred."We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”
