Agree in opinion

for years on end

be full of vugour and vitality

Self imposed

Go through untold hardships

abandon one's children and drive out one's wife

come down on the right side of the fence(serve the hour)

soft furs and loose grirdles

poor but clean

modesty and prudence

Close relations come before distant ones.

multifarious

have arranged everything in order

Do many things at once

a coarse skirt and a thorn hairpin

Seize the momentum

Deep thoughts

Year of dog and horse

thousands of words

carnation sauce and sweet fermented spirits
