head start
dynamic interplay
poor relief
street lighting
persevering valour
to glisten like enamel
immediate commotion
of yore
groundbreaking achievement
puerile prank
police detail
nugatory precaution
adamant refusal
with the old pageantry
it is high time
compulsory primary education
visible pointer
ineffectual jealousy
to field questions
to prevent the effusion of blood
low ebb
the rabble, or the vulgar
thorny matter
a customary rowdiness
public mirth
one’s effervescent spirit
pure moonshine
to break one's fetters
ruddy complexion
the choicest booty
sewerage system
to take flak
arrogant swagger
saturation point
to brook no dissent
pithy maxims
to exert a baneful influence on the adjudication of the question
vivacious spirit
to afflict hindsight
hard sledding
with bated breath
