“Timid as a mouse is all I can say.” “I don’t know about your encounters with mice but there is one big fat mouse in my office and need I add he scares the hell out of me.”

“I was merely restating an English proverb to project my concerns about the timidity on display in this country.”

“The Khan boldly went around Islamabad’s courts…”

“Surrounded by at least 6000 of his supporters.”
