"Buttercup's mother hesitated, then put her stew spoon……" — William Goldman
"Buttercup's mother hesitated, then put her stew spoon down. (This was after stew, but so is everything. When the first man first clambered from the slime and made his first home on land, what he had for supper that first night was stew.)"
