She took the bread, when it was put into her hand, and broke a bit, but could not eat. She was past hunger. She fell down on the floor with a heavy unresisting bang. The men looked puzzled.
"She's wellnigh clemmed," said Barton. "Folk do say one mustn't give clemmed people much to eat; but, bless us, she'll eat nought."

Get the Clem mug.
Clem is the most incredible person ever. If you know Clem then you are one lucky human. They have such pretty eyes and their smile brings you so much joy and their laughter. Oh my god their laughter makes u fall in love every time you hear it. Clem is the kindest most caring person you will ever meet. Once you have them, never let them go. Loving them is like breathing. You can’t stop. They are so smart and so funny and you instantly feel so much better when they are around. You feel safe.
Never make them feel like they aren’t important. Never make them feel alone. Don’t ever leave them. You don’t know what you are giving up on.
Clem is stylish. Clem is so pretty. They are the best person that you will ever meet.
Love them the way they deserve. Which is with affection and support through their good days and their bad days. Don’t ever be a reason they struggle to love.
Literally Clem is so amazing and is so pretty.
