Even should not the framing up of such fiction in the evidential order bring any truth to light in good time as fortuitously as some false setting of a starchart might (heaven helping it) uncover the presence of an unknown body in chaos of space the soundest opinion now holds that by so playing possum our ^|3highest common hagious curious^3| ancestor most effectually saved his brush for posterity. ^|3Dogs Gundogs^3| of all breeds were speaking with pronounced interprovincial accents, hot to run him on a scent breasthigh, keen for the worry^|3,. From Mullinahob & Peacockstown, then bearing R upon Tankardstown, the outlier, which some had almost mistaken for a bear, led them a chace & thence thro Raystown & Harlockstown to Tankardstown again.

Vainly virulence, violence and vituperation sought wellnigh utterly to end the interregnum of the great shipping mogul and underlinen overlord.

Peacefully general astonishment assisted by sorrow had put a term to his existence: he saw the soggarth, resigned himself, ^|3put off his body,^3| was taken and comforted by his Maker. ^|3Chirpings crossed.^3| An infamous private ailment ^|3(variovenereal) (vulgovariovenereal)^3| had claimed him ^|3and, closed his vicious circle, snap^3|.

Indeed not a few thick and thin wellwishers even went so far as to buy or loan copies of the evening ^|3editions triweeklies^3| so as to make sure of his ^|3being having become^3| genuinely quite dead ^|3by land or by water^3|. ^|3Transocean atalaclamoured him: The latter!
