Proverbs, words and quotes mangled in this book:

A penny for your thoughts

All good souls go to Heaven

All’s well that ends well

All that glitters is not gold

Always make the best out of a bad situation

Anger can be an expensive luxury

A rumour goes in one ear and out many mouths

Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder

Beggars can’t be choosers

Better to have tried than not

Cadaver

Change your attitude

Charity begins at home

Chickens come home to roost

Decaffeinated

Drop their guard

Every nook and cranny

Extrasensory perception

Fact is stranger than fiction – fiction has to make sense

False sense of security

For all intents and purposes

Goody-goody two-shoes

Haste makes waste

If looks could kill

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again

Just going through a phase

Keep out of harm’s way

Leave no stone unturned

Life is a numbers game

Loose bowels

Lot in life

Miscarriage

Monogamy

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

On second thought

Once bitten, twice shy

Rules are made to be broken

Rumours go forward, not backward

Scapegoat

Show restraint

Skating on thin ice

Slip below the radar

Sure as eggs

That’s the million-dollar question

The best laid plans of mice and men go oft astray

There’s an exception to every rule

Treading on thin ice

Two heads are better than one

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again

Wrong place at the wrong time.
