catch

You useless old thing, yes, you useless old thing, you were supposed to make sure my little one was a good girl. Always shouting, always doing guard dog duty, telling them to wear their woolens so they don't catch cold and whisking eggs so they'd grow up strong, but at four in the morning you're asleep on the job, you useless old thing, you're the one who never needs sleep but you're asleep, and you let her escape, and when you get there her bed is cold! 🔊

It won't help: but you do it for yourself, to learn something. 🔊

And as soon as he was with the Argives, the assassination attempts started against your father, against an old man who hadn't decided to die and hand over his kingdom. One attempt after another, and when we caught one of the hitmen they always ended up saying they'd been paid by him. Though not just by him, I might add. 🔊
