CHEST RUFF and FOR A FACT
0 Hello, 02 br
00 I would like to know the exact meaning of these expressions I have read on Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley": 02 br
00 'Under those sturdy towers of legs are spindly shanks, thin and not too straight; with his CHEST RUFF removed one can see the sagging stomach of the middle-aged.' 02 br
00 'And I know FOR A FACT that five minutes after I had left Charley he had found new friends ...' 02 br
00 Thanks, Jo. 0-
