Jaunty Jaun, as I wasº shortly before that made aware, next halted to fetch a breath,º the first |shcothurminoussh| leg of his nightstride being pulled through,º and to loosen (let God's son now be looking down on toº the poor preambler!) both of his bruised brogues,º that were plainly made a good bit before his hosen were, at the weir by Lazar's Walk (for far and wide, as large as he was lively, was he noted for his humane treatment of any kind of abused footgear),º a matter of maybe nine score or so barrelhours'º distance off,º as truly he merited to do. He was there,º you could planimetricallyº see, when I took a closer look at him, that was to say, amply (graciousº helpings, at this rate of growing our cotted child of yestereve will soon fill space and burst in systems, so speeds the instant!)º altered for the brighter thoughº still the graven image of his squarer self as he was used to be, perspiring but happy notwithstanding his foot was still asleep on him,º the way he thought, by the holy januarious, he had a bullock's hoof in his buskin, with his halluxes so splendid, through Ireland untranscended, bigmouthed poesther, propped up, restant,º against a butterblond warden of the peace, one comestabulish Sigurdsen (and where a better than such exsearfaceman to rest from roving the laddyown he bootblacked?),º who, buried upright like the Osbornes, kozydozy, had tumbled slumbersomely on sleep at night duty behind the curing station, equilebriated amid the embracings of a monopolisedº bottle.

Now, there were as many as twentynine hedgedaughtersº out of Benent Saint Berched's national nightschool (for they seemed to remember how it was still a once-upon-a-four year) learning their antemeridianº lesson of life, under its tree, against its warning, beseatedº as they wereº upon the brinkspondy, attracted to the rarerust sight of the first human yellowstone landmarkº (the bear, the boer, the king of all boors, Sirº Humphrey his knave we met on the moors!) while they paddled away, keeping time magnetically with their eight and fifty pedalettes, playing foolyfoolº jouay allo misto posto,

O so Jaonickallyº, all barely in their typtap teens, describing a charming dactylogram of nocturnesº though repelled by the snores of the log who looked stuck to the sod as ever and oft, when liquefied (vil!),º he murmoaned abasourdly in his Dutchener's native, visibly unmoved, over his treasure trove for the crown: Dotter dead bedstead mean diggy smuggy flasky!º

Jaunº (after he had in the first place doffed a hat with a reinforced crown and bowed to all the others in that chorus of praiseº of goodwill girls on their best beehiviour who all they were girls all rushing sowarmly for the post as buzzy as sie could bie to read his kisshands, kitteringº all about, rushing and making a tremendous girlsfuss over him pellmale|sh, their jeune premier,ºsh| and his rosyposy smile, mussing his frizzy hair and the gollywogº curls of him, all butº that one, Findrina'sº fairest, done in loveletters like a trayful of cloudberry tartlets (|shain't they fine, mighty, mighty fineº and honoured?sh|) and smilingly smelling, pair and pair about, broad by bread and slender to slimmer, the nice perfumios that came cunvy apeelingº off him (nice!) which was angelic simply, savouring of wild thyme and parsley jumbled with breadcrumbs (O nice!) asinging to his stamen and apetting of his pistilº and feeling his full fat pouch for him so tactily and jingaling his jellybags,º for |shthoughº he looked a young chapplieº of sixtineº they could frole by his manhood thatsh| he was just the killingest ladykiller all by kindness,º asking kindlily (hillo, missies!) after their howareyous at all with those of their dollybegs, andº where's Agatha's lamb? and how are Bernadetta's columbillasº? and Julienna'sº |shtubberbunniessh|? and Eulalina's tuggerfunnies?)º nextº went on (finefeelingfit!) to drop a few stray remarks anent their personal appearances and the contrary tastes displayed in their tight kittycasques and their smart frickyfrockies, asking coy one after sloy one had she read Irish legginds and gently reproving one that the ham of her hom could be seen below her hem and whispering another aside,º as lavariant,º that the hook of her hum was open a bittock at her back,º to have a side-eyeº to that, hom,º andº all of course just to fill up a form out of pure human kindness and in a sprite of fun, forº Jaun, by the way, was byº way of becoming (I think, I hope he was) the most purely human being that ever was called man, |shloving all up and down the whole creation from Sampson's tyke to Jones'ssh| |shsprat and from the kingº of all Wrenns down to infewseriessh|.º

º Jaun, after those few prelimbs,º made out through his eroscope the apparition of his fond sister Izzy,º for he knowed his love by her waves of splabashing and she showed him proof by her way of blubushingº, norº could he forget her so tarnelly easy as all that since he was brotherbesides her benedict godfather and heaven knows he thought the world and his life of her sweet heart could buy (brao!),º poor, good, true, Jaun!º

— Sister dearest, Jaun delivered himself with express cordiality, marked by clearance of diction and general delivery, as he began to take leave of his scholasticaº at once so as to gain time with deep affection, we honestly believe you soeurlyº will miss us the moment we exit yet we feel as a martyr to the dischurch of all duty that it is about time, by Great Harry,º we would shove off to stray on our long last journey and not be the load on ye. This is the gross proceeds of your teachings in which we were raised, you, Sisº, that used to write to us the exceeding nice letters for presentation and would be telling us anun (full well do we wont to recall to mind) thy oldworld tales of homespinning and derringdo and dieobscure and daddyho, thoseº tales which reliteratelyº whiskedº oftº our heart so narrated by thou, gesweest, to perfection, our pet pupil of the whole rhythmetic class and the mainsay of our erigenalº house,º the time we younkers twain were fairly tossing ourselves (O Phoebus! O Pollux!) in bed, having been laid up with Castor's oil on the Parrish's syrup (the night we wellº remember) for to share our hard suite of affections with thee.

I rise, Oº fair assemblage! Andcommincio. Now then, after this introit of exordium, my galaxy girls, quiproquo of directions to henservants I was asking his advice on the strict T.T. from Father Mike, P.P.,º my orational dominican and |shconfessor doctorsh| C.C.D.D.

Never miss your lostsomewhere mass for the couple in Myles you butrose to brideworship. Never hate mere pork which is bad for your knife of a good friday. Never let a hog of the howth trample underfoot your linen of Killiney. Never play lady's game for the Lord's stake. Never lose your heart away till you win his diamond back. Makeº a strong point of never kicking up your rumpus over the scroll end of sofas in the Dar Bey Coll Cafeteria by tootling risky apropos songs at commercial travellers' smokersº for their columbianº nights entertainmentsº the like of White limbs they never stop teasing or Minxy was a Manxmaid when Murry woreº a Manº. And, by the bun, is it you goes bisbuiting His Esaus and Cos and then throws them bag in the box?º Why,º the tin's nearly empty. First,º thou shalt not smile.º Twice,º thou shalt not love. Lust, thou shalt not commix idolatry. |shHip confinerssh| help compunction. Never park your brief stays in the men's convenience. Never clean your buttoncups with your dirty pair of sassers. Never ask his first person where's your quickest cut to our last place. Never let the promising hand usemake free of your oncemaid sacral. The soft side of the axe! |shA coil of cord, a colleen coy, a blush on a bush turned first man's laughter into wailful moither. O foolish cuppled!

Secret satieties and onanymous letters make the great unwatched as bad as their betters. Don't on any account acquire a paunchon for that alltoocommon |shfagbuttsh| habit of frequenting and chumming together with the braces of couples in Mr Tunnelly's hallways |sh(smash it)sh|, wrigglingº with lowcusses and cockchafers and vamps and rodants, inº the end to commit acts of interstipital indecency as between twinetiesº and tapegarters, |shfingerpatssh| on fondlepets, under the couvrefeu act.º It's the thin end,º wedge your steps!º |shYour highpoweredº hefty hoyden thinks nothing of vampingº through a whole suite of smokeless husbands.sh| Three minutes,º I'm counting you!º Woooooon!º No triching now!
