It must actually have been something of a banality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously: 'A child, a child, shivers in the cold, let us bring him silver and gold.' That's useful, isn't it? I'd have taken him a blanket..."  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
