Всем привет!
Хотелось бы узнать насчет значения выражения "twelve of them make a dozen"
Контекст такой:
I have sat at the foot of Nature a good
many years, and I have as my opinion
that to be a mother in its best sense is
the biggest thing on earth, and comes
nearer the Creator's work than anything
else under heaven; to be a learned girl
or woman graduate is a very good and
respectable thing enough, and
twelve of them make a dozen.
