                           IDIOMATIC COMMENTARY                    (p131)

N.B. In studying the commentary the student should underline in the text
the idiomatic expressions here indicated, including those to which he is
referred back in the Reviews. As irregular verb-forms are introduced
with special frequency, it would be well to keep the list of irregular
verbs at hand for reference. The _italicized words_ are those that are
especially idiomatic.
