| Your summer has been a colossal mess, but other folks have been lousing things up, too. |
|
| When the girl and the lion first appear in the tale we are told that she is lousing him, which illustrates the bond between them. |
|
| The grandmother began lousing him again and soon he was asleep and snoring loud enough to rattle the windows. |
|
| If he continues looking over his shoulder at your past amours, suggest to him, gently, that he is lousing up what otherwise would be very happy times. |
