    better sentence?

    "It must be a great day in hell since she's cooling off the place." I chuckled to myself.

    "It must be a cool day in hell now she's there." I chuckled to myself.

    Hi Kay

    I like the second one, though the sentence could be strengthened by losing some superfluous words. How about, 'It'll be cool in hell now she's there,' I chuckled. Just a thought.

    Scott.
    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"
