not the slightest stir(without moving a muscle)

The husband shares prosperity with his wife.

Make polished impromptu speech

surrender at the mere rumour of somebody's coming

never to blot a line in writing

avoid leaning to either side

be in a story(say of one accord)

obstruct national affairs and bring woe to the masses

Warmth and affection

run far away on hearing the news

a myriad of intricacies(many things to attend to)

not to possess a speck of land

Contrary to nature

talk nonsense

(because of being happy or excited) at a loss

Do harm to others

Bend the law to suit private interest

Be raging like a storm

turn on one's friends

Legend has it that a young crow feeds the old.
