'If, like me, you think something should be done about the social chasm that exists between state and private schools, you should embrace this guide [Tatler's Guide To State Schools] with open arms.'
Can you spot the difficulty in following that advice?
It's a tiny thing, a mistake that anyone might make.
Still, it made me laugh.
What's wrong?
Well, go to the man you love best in all the world, and try
embracing him with open arms.
Drawing by Giulio Romano
Thing To Do Today Though Not With Open Arms: embrace. This
word comes from the Old French brace, a pair of arms, from the
Latin bracchia, arms.
