Dear Reader

Not a bookselling site - just a place where I can chat about what I've been reading lately.

"I always say..."

I just came across Streatfeild's Dancing Shoes, and I was moved to blog about one of my favorite parts. Hilary's about to be in a dancing/acrobatic competition, and she's arranging for clothes. She tries a cartwheel in her borrowed finery, and we get this:
"'Couldn't be better,' said Alice. 'I always say there's nothing to touch lace when you're working upside down.'"
And of course this is here to establish what a little professional Alice is - but no matter how much of a professional you are, does anyone ever speak about upside-down work enough to have an "I always say..." phrase about it?
