- Long fair, long foul ( This Spring an example).Old soldier, old bite.The dog that fetches will carry.My hand always itches if I am about to shake hands with any person.Peter keeping his supposed stand at the everlasting gate hailed a man who approached him. Said he to the newcomer. Look on your left and you will see where the souls of all men are, from and including Adam.
On the left you see where all the souls of departed women are - from and including Eve.
"Step to your right and tell Adam to come to me" The man went, tapped a man (it was Adam) on the shoulder, saying "Peter wants you"
How did he know it was AdamAdam was not born of woman.
