Thank goodness for on-line translation. My Latin education ended with translation of Caesar's letters from the front.

The Mme Defarges of the world slip by unseen. Bet his mother gave him a poke.
I'm not sure which is worse - being called an old lady, or being called a little girl - which I was Saturday afternoon. I'll be 75 in two months! I helped a woman find something on the shelf and she told her husband "That little girl over there got it for me." She obviously was half blind.
