If I say “my shoe,” do I mean it in the same way as “my life,” or “my sister” or “my husband”?

The whole thing begins to have a jigsaw look, like a child's toy rack with wooden soldiers on it, expanding and contracting.

I should judge from the streets that not more than one-fourth of the females of Galway belong to the shoe-wearing aristocracy.
