And take all the other empty-headed lions with you-- and those stupid leopards and antelopes.
The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Lofting, Hugh View in context
Sir William Lucas, and his daughter Maria, a good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much delight as the rattle of the chaise.
