Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.

I think you can tell a great deal from a name. For me, there are certain names that I hear, and I think, ‘Urgh.’ For me, a name is a shortcut of finding out what class that child comes from and makes me ask, ‘Do I want my children to play with them?’
