Signs (vowels) of the Latin subjunctive, as I learned them:  "we fear a
liar," or alternatively, "we beat a friar."  Both given to me by my Latin
teacher.  I had a very good teacher.  We wound up writing short stories in
Latin.

Where could even so great a monarch as yourself procure, all at the same
time, three madwomen...an impossible bumpkin who claims to be betrothed to
the maddest of the lot, a stable full of penniless actors who keep my
guests' horses awake with their goings-on, and a stableboy who was never
worth much to begin with and lately shows real promise of becoming a
complete liability? 	-P. Beagle
