If you knew her in her prime make sure you find her complementary. Or |abyº Angus Dagdasson & all his picciapiccionsº, on your very first

grapeclusterº of lights hangs there beneath the canopy and allº the house is filled with the breathings of her fairness, the fairness of mixed acidulateds & the fairness of milk and rhubarb and the fairness of roasted meats and unionmargrits and the
fairness of promise and with consonantia and avowal. Theirº lies her word, O reder. The height |aherof herupa| exalts it and the lowness

my gander, he's coming to land her. O backed von them zug! Make weg for their tug!º

He pretends to be tight in ribbings round his rumpffkorp.

Evidentament he has failed as tiercely as before. Forº she wears none of the three. And quite as patentlyº there is a sort of aº hole in the ballet through whichº the rest fell out. Forº to explain why the residue is or was not proceeded with, namely, the shifting about of the lasses andº the tug-of-loveº of theº lads ending with a great deal of roughº merriment, hoots, screams, |ascarf drill,a| ejaculationsº of urine, reechoable laugh mirthpeals andº general thumb-to-noseryº, one must reckonº with the sudden and gigantesquesque appearance |aBarnado's bearskina| |ain amonga| the middle of this |achildish village brawl childersgarten village brawla| of the largely longsuffering laird of Lucanhof.
