For here is Ray in the new bed, in the new room — a room identical to the previous one, with the same bedside table and on this table the same vase of flowers from friends.
While the goods are still cheap by American standards, still, with the high prices at the point of manufacture, it was easy to imagine that my mom would see a significant increase in the price for the same vase at a Target store.
Do not place tulips in the same vase with daffodils or in the water in which daffodils have set.
Most cameras treat all subjects the same: a vase is a rose is a cute puppy.
