The meeting-places of love:
Their eyes meet, their hands meet,
Their lips meet, their lawyers meet.

To be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth.
3. Read the following passage and answer the questions after it:
Here are brief descriptions of the men of the first three months of the year.
The January Men do most things rather slowly. So if your man is one of
these, do not expect a lightning courtship or a very speedy marriage - though if
born before December 28th he will do a little faster. Let him do all the wooing
himself, for he likes to be the leader and to make up his own mind.
Don’t look for him to be a picturesque wooer. He won’t often call you pet
names or tell you he loves you. But to the right girl he shows a deep devotion,
expressed in deeds of kindness rather than in words.
He is very ambitious. Nothing and nobody must stand in the way of his
career. Take a real interest in his work if you want to win and keep him.
The girls who are happiest with January men are those born under the
zodiac signs of Taurus, Virgo and his own sign of Capricorn.
