D 11.º Ifº you met on the binge a poor acheseyeld from Ailing,

when the tune of his tremble shook shimmy on shin,
while his countrary raged in the weak of his wailing,
like a rugilant pugilant Lyon O'Lynn;

if he maundered in misliness, plaining his
{f39, 149}
plight,
orº played fox and lice, pickingº and dropping hips teeth,
or wringing his handcuffs for peace, the blind blighter,
praying Dieufº and Domb Nostrums foh thomethinks to eath;

if he weapt while he leapt and guffalled quith a quhimper,
made cold blood a blue mundy and no bones without flech,
{f10, 119}
taking kiss, kake or kick with a suck, sigh or simper,
a diffle to larn and a dibble to lech;

if the ^|2vain fain^2| shinner pegged you to shave his immartial,
^|2sore wee^2| skillmustered shoul with ^|2Ho! How doodoo!, his ooh, hoodoodoo!º^2|
broking wind that to wilesº woemaid sin he was partial,
we don't think, Jones, we'd care to this evening, would you?

answer:º No, blank ye! But before proceeding to conclusively confute this begging question it would be far fitter for you (if ye dare!)º to ^|2hasitate to^2| consult with and consequentially attempt at my disposalsº of the same dime-cash problem elsewhere, naturalistically,º of course, from the blinkpoint of so eminent a spatialist. From it you will here notice, Schott, upon my for the first remarking you that the sophology of Bitchson while driven as under by a purely dime-dime urge is not withoutº his cash-cashº characktericksticks, borrowed for its nonce ends from the fiery goodmother Miss Fortune (who ^|2the lost time we had the pleasure^2| we have had our little ^|2private recherché^2| brush with, what, Schott?) andº as I ^|2further^2| could have told you,º ^|2as brisk as your D.B.C.,º^2| behaviouristically pailletés with a coat of homoid icing which is in reality only a ^|2done by chance^2| ridiculisation of the whoo-whoo and where's hairs theorics of Winestain. To put it all the more plumbsily, theº speechform is a mere sorrogate whilstº the quality and tality (I shall explex what you ought to mean by this ^|2with its proper when and where and why and how^2| in the subsequent sentence) are alternativomentally harrogate and arrogate, as the gates may be. Talis is a word often abused by many passims. A pessim may frequent you to say: Have you been
{f39, 150}
seeing much of Talis and Talis those times?,º optimately meaning: Will you put up a threeº of irish? Or a ladyeater may perhaps have casualised to youº as you temptoed her à la sourdine: Of your plates, isº Talis de Talis, the swordswallower, who is on at the Craterium the same Talis von Talis, the penscrusher (no funk you!),º who runs his duly mile? Or this is a perhaps cleaner example. At a recent postvortex piece infustigation of a determinised case of chronic ^|2spinosism spinosis^2| an extension lecturer on The Ague ^|2who out of matter of form^2| was tergingº his seesers, Dr 's Hetº Ubeleeft, borrowed the question: Why's which Suchman's talis qualis?º Toº whom, as a fatter of macht, Dr Gedankje of Stoutgirth, who was wiping his whistle, toarsely retoarted: While thou beastº one zoom of a whorl! (Talis and Talis originally mean the same thing).
