Don't forget the mountain and the molehill. Don't insist that your molehill is a mountain if you suspect your husband of flirting. There is no more certain way of making it into one. Your husand is only human, and if he is to be hanged, he would probably rather be hanged for a sheep than a lamb | |

Think you'll find the writer is referring to ...a bossy woman, who rouses and ups everyone in sight.
.. once stayed at a house, where the man of the house used to mutter it about his wife all the time... think it might be Scottish slang.
Cheers
P.S.. Re: Hanging for a sheep or a lamb: I don't think they ever hung ppl in new zealand... maybe that's why? | |
