| 32 | 478 | In the use of expressions, say, such as 'woman' and 'girl', much depends on context. |
| 32 | 479 | In one context, for example, as in the current context, the expression 'girl' is beautifully appropriate, its use being justified not only by descriptive accuracy, a concern with physiological veridicality, so to speak, but by social aptness, institutional relevance, instructional utility, and such. |

In some other context, on the other hand, the deep, slave richness of the luscious expression 'woman' would seem more deliciously appropriate. |
