Now gode. Let us leave theories there and return to here's here. Now hear. 'Tis gode again. The teak coffin, Pughglasspanelfitted, feets to the east, was to turn in (f39handyºf10) later, and pitly patly near the porpus, materially effecting the cause. And this, liever, is the thinghowe. Any number of conservative public bodies, through a number of select and other committees having power to add to their number, before voting themselves and himself, town, port and garrison, by a fit and proper resolution, following a koorts order of the groundwet, once for all out of plotty existence, as a forescut, so you maateskippey might to you cuttinrunner on a neuw pack of klerds, made him, while his body still persisted, their present of a protem grave in Moyelta of the best Lough Neagh pattern, then as much in demand among misonesans as the Isle of Man today among limniphobes. Wacht even! It was in a fairly fishy kettlekerry(f39,f10) after the Fianna's foreman had taken his handful, enriched with ancient woods and dear dutchy deeplinns mid which were an old knoll and a troutbeck, vainyvain of her osiery and a chatty sally with any Wilt or Walt who would ongle her as Izaak did to the tickle of his rod and watch her waters of(f39,f10) her sillying waters of(f39,ºf10) and there now(f39,f10) brown peater (f39arripple everippleºf10) (may their quilt gild lightly over his (f39somnolulutent somnolutentºf10) form!)(f39,ºf10) Whoforyou lies his last, by the wrath of Bog, like the erst curst Hun in the bed of his treubleu Donawhu.

Ladies did not disdain those pagan ironed times of the first city (called after the ugliest Danadune) when a frond was a friend inneed to carry, as earwigs do their dead, their soil to the earthball where indeeth we shall calm decline, our legacy unknown. Venuses were gigglibly temptatrix, vulcans guffawably eruptious and the whole wives' world frockful of fickles. Fact, any human (f39inyon inyanºf10) you liked any erenoon or efter would take her bare (f39godkin goddkinºf10) out, or an even pair of hem(f39,f10) (lugod! lugodoo!)(f39,f10) and prettily pray with him (or with em even)(f39,ºf10) everyhe to her taste, long for luck, tapette and tape petter and take pettest of all.

Kate Strong (f39(tip!)ºf10), a widow ((f39Tiptip! tiptip!f10)) — she pulls a lane picture for us(f39,f10) in a dreariodreama setting, glowing and very vidual, of old dumplan as she nosed it, a homelike cottage of elvanstone with droppings of biddies, stinkend pusshies, moggies' duggies, rotten witchawubbles, festering rubbages and beggars' bullets, if not worse, sending salmofarious germs in gleefully through the smithereen panes — Widow Strong, then, as her weaker had turned him to the wall ((f39Tiptiptip! tiptiptip!f10)), did most all the scavenging from good King Hamlaugh's gulden dayne (f39onwards,ºf10) though her lean besom cleaned but sparingly(f39,ºf10) and her bare statement reads that,

And it is as though where Agni araflammed and Mithra monished and Shiva slew as mayamutras the (f39streamlettes of theºf10) obluvial waters of our noarchic memory withdrew, windingly goharksome, to some hastyswasty timberman torchpriest, flamenfan, the ward of the wind that lightened the fire that lay in the wood that Jove bolt, at (f39his herºf10) rude word(f39.:ºf10) Posidonius O'Fluctuary!

Any lucans, please?

Yes, the viability of vicinals if invisible is invincible. And we are not trespassing on his corns either. Look at all the plotsch! (f39Fluminian Flaminianf10)! If this was Hannibal's walk it was Hercules' work. And a hungried thousand of the unemancipated slaved the way. The mausoleum lies behind us (O Adgigasta, (f39multipopulipater! multipopulipater!ºf10)) and there are milestones in their cheadmilias faultering along the tramestrack(f39,f10) by Brahm and Anton Hermes! Per omnibus secular seekalarum. Amain. But the past has made us this present of a rhedarhoad. So more boher (f39toºf10) O'Connell! Though rainyhidden, you're rhinohide.

It was hard by (f39the howe's the howe goesºf10) there, plainly on this disoluded and a buchan cold spot, rupestric then, resurfaced that now is, that Luttrell sold

(f39Benathere Beneatheref10)!) but where livland yontide meared with the wilde, saltlea with flood, that the attackler, (f39a cropatkin,ºf10) though under medium and between colours(f39,f10) with truly (f39native cropatkinºf10) pluck(f39,ºf10) engaged the Adversary who had more in his eye than was less to his leg but whom(f39,f10) for plunder sake, he mistook in the heavy rain to be Oglethorpe or some other ginkus, Parr aparrently, to whom the headandheelless chickenestegg bore some (f39Michelangiolesque michelangiolesqueºf10) resemblance, making use of sacrilegious languages to the defect that he would challenge their hemosphores to exterminate them but he would cannonise the b—y b—r's life out of him and lay him out contritely as smart as the b—r had his b—y nightprayers said, three patrecknocksters and a couplet of hellmuirries (tout est sacré pour un (f39sacreur, sacreur,ºf10) femme à barbe ou homme-nourrice)(f39,f10) at the same time, so as to (f39plugg well pluggwellºf10) let the blubbywail ghoats out of him, catching holst of an oblong bar he had and with which he usually broke furnitures he rose the stick at him. The boarder incident prerepeated itself. The pair (whethertheywere Nippoluono engaging (f39Wei-Ling-Taou Wei-Ling-Taonºf10) or de Razzkias trying to reconnoistre the general Boukeleff, man may not say)(f39,ºf10) struggled apairently for some considerable time(f39,f10) (the cradle rocking equally
{f39, 82}

(f39—ºf10) Let me go, Pautheen! I hardly knew ye.

(f39⇒ºf10) Later on, after the solstitial pause for refleshmeant, the same man (or a different and younger (f39him hamf10) of the same (f39ham himºf10)) asked in the vermicular with a very oggly chew-chin-grin (f39as if he forgot somethingºf10):

To this the other, Billi with the Boule, who had mummed and mauled up to that (for he was hesitency carried to excelcism) rather amusedly replied:

(f39—ºf10) Woowoo would you be grossly surprised, Hill, to learn that, as it so happens, I honestly have not such a thing as the loo, as the least chance of a tinpanned crackler anywhere about me at the present mohomoment but I believe I can see my way, as you suggest, it being Yuletide or Yuddanfest and as it's mad nuts, son, for you
