— MEN! Juan responded fullchantedly to her sororal sonority, |shimitating himself capitallysh|,º with |shhis bubbleblown in his patapetsh| and his chalished drink now well in hand. (A spilt, see, for a split, see see!) Ever gloriously kind! And I truly am eucherised to yous. Also sacré père and maîtreº d'autel. Well, ladies upon gentlermen and toastmaster general,º let usº brindising brandisong, woo and win womenlong,º with health to rich vineyards ofº Erin go dryº! Amingst the living waters of, the living in giving waters of. Tight! Loose! A stiff one for Staffetta mullified with creams of hormonyº, the coupe that's chill for jackless jill and a filiform dhouche on Doris!º Esterelles, be not on your weeping what though Shaunathaun is in his fail! To stir up love's young fizz I tilt with this bridle's cupº champagne, dimming douce from her peepair of hideseeks,º tightsqueezed on my snowybreasted,º and while my pearlies in their sparkling wiseheightº are nippling her bubblets I swear (and let you swear!) by the bumper roundº of my poor old snaggletooth's solidbowel I ne'er will prove I'm untrue to your liking (theare!) so long as my hole looks. Down.

So gullaby, me poor Isley! But I'm not for forgetting me innerman monophone for I'm leaving my darling proxy behind for your consolering, lost Dave the Dancekerl, a squamous runaway and a dear old man pal of mine too. He will arrive incessantly in the fraction of a crust.º |shCouldº he quit doubling and stop trippling,º he would be the unicorn of his kind.sh| He's the mightiest penumbrella I ever flourished on behond the shadow of a post!

Be sure and link him, me O treasauro, as often as you learn,º provided there's nothing between you but a plain deal table. Onlyº don't encourage him to cry lessontimes over Leperstown. But soft! Can't be? Do mailstanes mumble? Lumtum lumtum! Now! |shThe froubadour! I fremble!sh| Talk of wolf in a stomach,º by all that's verminous! Eccolo me!º |shThe return of th'athlate!sh| |shWho can secede to his success!sh| Isn't Jaunstown, Ousterrike, the small place after all? I knew I smelt the garlic leek! Why, bless me swits, here he its, darling Daveº, like the catoninelives just in time as if he fell out of space, all draped in mufti, coming home to mourn mountains from his old continence.º Andº not on one foot either or on two feet aether but on quinquisecular cycles after his French evolution and a blindfold passage by the 4.32 withº the pork's pate in his suicide paw and the gulls laughing lime on his natural skunk, blushing like Pat's pig,º begob!º He's not too timtom well ashamed to carry out onaglibtograbakelly in his showman's sinister the testymonicals he gave his twenty annis forº, showing the three white feathers, as a home cured emigrant in Paddyouare far below on our sealevel. Bearer may leave the church, signed, Figura Porca, Lictor Magnaffica. He's the sneaking likeness of us, faith, me altar's ego in miniature and every Auxonian aimer's ace as nasal a Romeo as I am, for ever cracking quips on himself, that merry, the jeenjakes, he'd soon arise mother's roses mid bedewing tears under those wild wet lashes onto anny living girl's laftercheeks. That's his little veiniality. And his impeppeppediment.º He has novel ideas, I know,º and he's a jarry queer fish betimes, I grant you, and cantanberousº, the poisoner of his word, but,º lice and all and semicoloured stainedglasses, I'm enormously full of that foreigner, I'll say I am! Got by the one goat, suckled by the same nanna, one twitch, one nature makes us oldworld kin. We're as thick and thin now as two tubular jawballs. I hate him about his patent henesy, blasphº it,º |shyet am I amoristºsh|. I love him. I love his old portugal's nose.º There's the nasturtium for ye now that saved manny a poor sinker from water on the grave. |shThe diasporation of all pirates and quinconcentrum of a fake like Basilius O'Cormacan MacArty?sh| To camiflag he turned his shirt. Isn't he after borrowing all before him,º |shmaking friendsº with everyboobysh|,º |shred in Rossya, white in Alba,sh|º and touching every distinguished Ourishman he could ever distinguish before or behind from a Yourishman for the customary halp of a crown and peace? He is looking aged with his pebbled eyes, and johnnythin tooº |shfrom livicking on pidgins' ifssh| |shwith puffins' andssh|.º |shHe'sº been slanderising himselfsh|,º but I pass no remark. Hope he hasn't the cholera. Give him an eyot in the farout. |shMoseses and Noasies,º how are you? He'd be as snug as Columbsisle Jonas wrocked in the belly of the whaves, as quotad before.sh| Brayvoº, senior chief! Famose! Sure there's nobody else in

The most omportent man! Shervos! Ho, be the holy snakes,º someone has shaved his rough diamond skull for him as clean as Nuntius' piedish! The burnt out mesh and the matting and all! Thunderweather,º khyber schinker,º escapa sansa pagar!º He's the spatton spit, so he is, |shscaly skin and allsh|, with his blackguarded eyeº and the goatsbeard in his buttinghole,º of Shemuel Tulliver, me grandsourd, the old cruxader, when he off with his paudeen! That was to let the crowd of Fluº Flux Fans behind him see me proper. Ah, he's very thoughtful and sympatrico that way, isº |shBrother Intelligentiussh|,º when he's not absintheminded, withº his Paris adresseº! He is, really. Hold hardº till you'll ear him clicking his bull's bones! Some toad klakkin! You're welcome back, Wilkins,º to red berries in the frost! |shAnd here's the butter exchange to pfeife and dramn ye with a bawlful of the Moulsaybaysse and yunker doodler wanked to wall awriting off his phoney.sh| I'm tired hairing of you.
