• We read off the many signals that our companions' clothes transmit to us in every social encounter. In this way, clothing is as much a part of human body language as gestures, facial expressions and postures.Even those people who insist that they despise attention to clothing, and dress as casually as possible, are making quite specific comments on their social roles and their attitudes towards the culture in which they live.

• We all had such larks. Yes, it was hard work but the friendships and the genuine respect we had for one another, that side I shall miss greatly.

They live at the side of my bed and are my constant companions.
