    I think you are making reference to "The Apricity Tale".. However..if you are using this as the main place name in your sentence then I would correct it as.. She flies to the Apricity tale, hoping to experience a little piece of a winter. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself in a kingdom that is called 'The Kingdom of Butterfly'.

    1."Gossiped away", means to speak about others or of rumors that you have heard, whether true or not. She as a story character was incli ed to speak about others and she had a tendency to do it very often. 2.The cat didn't look away when she stared at it. Most cats, most animals do not "stare back" unless they are brave, bold or aggressive. Lions might "stare back" at you because they want you for lunch! 3.The nerve of him, is a fairly common phrase used in english that indicates a displeasure from someone who does something unexpectedly bold or brash. When someone is rude in a formal social setting you may hear someone say this expession. 4.Exactly! If I were to look in the cupboard and usually expect to see many tins of food stored there, but saw none at all, I might say,...I didn't even see a single tin. It comes into use when someone is i dicati g being surprized at an occurance of finding less than usual.

    While both are accepted,..the short form is more normal during everyday useage. Most words used in English, whether written or spoken, will default to the shorter or slang version. ...in the case of re·cap it is used as a VERB state again as a summary; recapitulate: "a way of recapping the story so far" · "to recap, it’s been a year full of ups and downs" NOUN a summary of what has been said; a recapitulation: "a quick recap of the idea and its main advantages" Shorter versions are almost always the preference for spoken english sentence structures. "Keep it simple, short and sweet and your listeners will be at your feet!"

    When you are describing the "action" of fastening a bike to a tree or fence in English, we usually use the phrase of "locking it up" "I am going to lock my bike up, to that tree." "I have just locked my bicycle to that post over there." "I secured my bicycle to that post with a lock and a chain." Informally,..we might use a word like "fastened or hitched" "I hitched my dog and bike to the same tree." Hitched or fastened when used would come across as improper grammar, but still would be descriptively accurate...but in English the words locked up or secured or chained up would be more preferred to describe the action of "fastening a bike". As for dogs, livestock such as cows and pigs are usually described as being "tied up" because they are living creatures and bicycles are machines. For most sentences this is the easier way to think of it. When we fasten an animal to a tree or post with a leash or rope. We might say something like.. "I tied my pet dog to that tree next to where I locked up my bicycle." "My dog is tied to that post beside my bike." "I locked up my bike and secured my pet dog to the tree." I hope this helped you!
