make up a deficiency by the surplus

be scared out of one's wits

When wine sinks,words swim.(give one's speech free scope after drinking wine)

speech and deportment

if the worst comes to the worst(if worst comes to worst)

recall old memories at familiar sights

gaze into the distance

vanquish demons and monsters

patiently attend to a grave problem

with a sting in one's words

be very active physically after a forced silence

A widely-read

sail the boat with the help of the wind

battle it out(fight it out)

energetic

small but complete

neighbour

a company of gorgeously dressed ladies

again and again(not for the first time)

One's family is ruined and all of its members are dead.
