Professor Levis in his (though, as I shall |ashortly promptlya| prove, his whole account of the Sennacherib affair and the introduction of the Mr Shekels and Dr Hyde problem

looking |athrough ata| these accidents through the |afarscope
faroscopea| of television |a(this |bnightlifeb| instrument needs still some subtractional betterment in the adjustment of the refrangibility angle to the squeals of the hypothesis on the outer

after & what he importunes our Mitleid for is a waste of time. His

of the two |aliquids lickquidsa| implied. Students of mixed hydrostatics |a&
|bpneumocanics pneumodipsicsb|a| will after some difficulties grapple |aawaya| with my meanings) But, on Professor Levis Brueller's
showing, the plea is all posh and rabbage |afr on a melodeontic scalea| since his man's when is |aan
