And congruously enough the confusion of its composition was fitly capped by the zigzaggery of its ^|adeliverer delivery^a|.º The postman mentioned on page 80 and not for the 1st time in history for just as, it has been more than once pointed out, the demise of one parish priest or curate is sure to be followed ^|asooner or later^a| by other parochial demises of an allied nature. Though, coming now to the postman ^|amentioned on hastily left on^a| p 80, though his qualifications for that particular ^|apost postal,^{a| |a}or office,^a| were known only to a limited circle of friendsº the spectacle of the Lucalizod lettercarrier, ^|aan a most capable^a| official of very superior appearance in his emptybottlegreen jerkin, at once gave ^|adoubters doubtersful^a| a vouch for his bitaler bilateralist za zeal. ^|aBoth ^|bHis movements showed that^b| North & South^a| sides of the roadway were visited by him in turn in the discharge of his important duty and during which he got a no of stumbles which ^|aseemed appeared^a| to startle him very much

Thus two was a woman's petition, maid, wife & mother, ^|aoffered brought^a| by two sons of wild earth, ^|asince sainted scholasts,^{a| |a}Shamus Iacopus^a| Pennifera,º and Johannes ^|aEpistoloforus Epistolophorus^a|, to their and of all the Lord, offering to him from whom all things ^|acame had come to them^a| their gift of ^|aher^a| knowledge, thereby giving him of his own ^|a(the lion's mouth)^a|.
