W.N., Albany, N.Y. Part of the expression "everything is lovely and the goose hangs higjt," meaning all is hunky dory Some say the correct word is 'honks”high, in dicating high flight under high clouds and, hence, probably fair weather. We say the work is 'hang," indicating not only high flight in fair skies, but also a view-of the earth below from a point clean out of gunshot, in other words safety Home Hint*: Mint scattered around their haunts drives away mice.
