I don't know whether to paint Old Silver, the horse who brought the news to St. Olaf that the British had no intention of coming or Old Brisker, the horse who, because of a printing error on the ballot slips, was elected water commissioner for six months.

Rose: I'll say. To think Dorothy's lived with The Temptations. I've never even been to one of their concerts.
