So,º nat by night by naught by naketº in those good old lousy days gone by (theº days, shall we say?,º of whom,º shall we say?)º while kinderwardens minded their twinsbed, therenow theystood, the sycomores, all four of them, in their quartan agues,º the majorchy, the minorchy, the everso and the fermentarian,º with their ballyhooric blowreaper,º titranicht by tetranoxst, at their pussycorners, and that old timeº pallyollogass,º playing copers fearsome, with Gus Walker, the cuddy, and his poor old dying boosy cough, esker, newcsle, saggard, crumlin, dell me, donk, the way to wumblin,º followº me beeline and you're bumblin, esker, newcsle, saggard, crumlin, andº listening, soº gladdied up when nicechild Kevin Mary (who was going to be commandeering chief of the choirboys' brigade the moment he grew up under all the auspices) irishsmiledº in his milky way of cream dwibble and onage tustard and dessed tabbage, but soº frightiedº out when badbrat Jerry Godolphing (who was hurrying to be cardinal scullion in a night refuge as bald asº he was cured enough underº all the hospitals) furrinfrowned down his wrinkly waste of methylated spirits, ick,º and lemoncholy lees, ick,º and pulverised rhubarbarorum,º icky:º

in her april cot, within her singachamerº, with her greengageflavoured candywhistle duetted to the crazyquilt, Isobel, she is so pretty, truth to tell, wildwood's eyes and primarose hair, quietly, all the woods so
wild,º in mauves of moss and daphnedews, how all so still she lay, neath of the whitethorn, child of tree, like some losthappy leaf, like blowing flower stilled, as fain would she anon,º for soon again 'twill be, win me, woo me, wed me,

mitigationº without which in any case he insists upon being worthy of continued alimentationº for him having displayed, he says, such grand toleration, reprobate so noted and allº as he was,º with his
washleather sweeds and his smokingstump,º for denying transubstantiationº nevertheless in respect of his highpowered station, whereof more especially as probably he was meantime suffering genteel
tortures from the best medical attestation, as he oftentimes did, having only strength enough,º by way of festination, to implore or (Iº believe you mightº have said better) to comploreº with complete
obsecrationº on everybody connected with himº the curse of coagulationº for, he tells me outside Sammon's in King Streetº after two or three hours of close confabulation, by this pewterpint of Gilbey's goatswhey which is his prime
consolation, albeit involving upon the same no uncertain amount of esophagous regurgitation, he being personally unpreoccupied to the extent of a flea's gizzard anent eructation, if he was still extremely offensive to a score and four nostrils'
dilatationº still he was likewise, on the other side of him,º for some nepmen's eyes a delectation, as he asserts without the least alienation, so prays of his faultº you would make
obliterationº but asº for our friend behind the bars,º though like Adam Findlaterº a man of
highº estimation, summing him up to be done, be what will of excess his exaltation, still we think with Sully there can be no right extinuationº for contravention of common and statute legislationº for which the fit remedy resides, forº Mr
Sully,º in corporal amputation:º so three months forº Gubbs Jeroboam, the frothwhiskered pest of the park, as per act one, section two, schedule three, clause four of the fifth of King Jark, this sentence to be carried

You never may know in the preterite all perhaps that you would not believe that you ever even saw to be about to. Perhaps. But they are two very blizky

Jeminy! Whatº is the view which now takes up a second position of discordance, tell it,º please? Mark! You notice it in that rereway because the male entail partially eclipses the femecovert. It is so called for its discord the meseedo. Do you ever heard the story about Helius Croesus, that white and gold Elephantº in our zoopark? You astonish me by it. Is it not that we are commanding from fullback, woman permitting, a profusely fine birdseye view from beauhind this park?º Finn his park has been much the admiration of allº the stranger ones, greekishº and romanos, who arrive to here. The straight road down the centre (see relief map) bisexes the park which is said to be the largest of his kind in the world. On the right prominence confronts you the handsome vinesregent's lodge while, turning to the other supreme piece of cheeks, exactly opposite,º you are confounded by the equally handsome chief sacristary's residence. Around is a little amiably tufted and man is cheered when he bewonders through the boskage how the nature in all frisko is enlivened by gentlemen's seats. Here are heavysupperdaddies'º housings for |shhundredairessh| of our super thin thousand. By gum, but you have resin!º Of these tallworts are yielded out |shjuices for jointoils and pappasses for paynimssh|º. Listeneth! 'Tis a tree story. How olave, that firile, was aplantad in her liveside. How tannoboom held tonobloom. How rood in norlandes. The black and blue marks athwart the weald,º which now barely is so stripped,º indicate the prepresenceº of sylvious beltings. Therewithal shadyº rides lend themselves out to rustic cavalries. In yonder valley, too, stays mountain sprite. Any pretty dears are to be caught inside but it is a bad pities of the plain. A scarlet pimparnell now mules the mound where anciently first murders were wanted to take root. By feud fionghalian. |shTalking tree and sinning stonesh|º stay on either hand. Hystorical leavesdroppings may also be garnered up with Sirº Shamus Swiftpatrick, archfieldchaplainº of Saint Lucan's. How familiar it is to see all thoseº interesting advenements with one anaked'sº eyes!º Is all? Yet not. Atº the bodom fundus of this royal park, which, with tvigate shyasianº gardeenen, is open to the public till night at late, so well the sissastrides so willº the pederestians, do not fail to point to yourself a depression called Holl Hollow. It is often quite guttergloomering in our duol and gives wankyrious thoughts to the head but the |shbanderssh| of the pentapolitan poleetsfurcers bassoons into it on windy Woodensdaysº their wellbooming wolvertones.

Let us consider.
The procurator Interrogarius Mealterum persendsº us this proposer.
Honuphrius is a concupiscent exservicemajor who makes dishonest propositions to all. He is considered to have committed, |shinvoking droit
d'oreiller,sh| simple infidelities with Felicia, a virgin, and to be practising for unnatural coits with Eugenius and Jeremias, twoº or
three philadelphians. Honuphriusº, Felicia, Eugenius and Jeremias are consanguineous to the lowest degree. Anita,º the wife of
Honuphriusº, has been told by her tirewoman, Fortissa, that Honuphrius has blasphemously confessed under voluntary chastisement that he has instructed his slave Mauritius, a
widower,º to facilitate their neighbour Magravius,º a commercialº emulous of Honuphrius, to solicit the chastity of Anita. Anitaº isº informed
by some illegitimate children
{f10, 446}
of Fortissa with Mauritius (theº supposition is Ware's) that Gillia, the schismatical wife of Magravius, is visited clandestinely by Barnabas, the advocate of Honuphrius, an immoral person who has been corrupted by
Jeremias. Gillia (aº cooler blend, D'Alton insists),º ex equo with Poppea, Arancita, Clara, Marinuzza, Indra and Iodina,º has been tenderly debauched (inº
Halliday's view)º by Honuphrius,º and Magravius knows from spies that Anita has formerly committed double sacrilege with Michael, vulgo Cerularius, a perpetual
curateº who wishes to seduce Eugenius. Magravius threatens to have Anita molested by Sulla, an orthodox savage (and leader of a band of twelve mercenaries, the
Sullivani)º who desires to procure Felicia for Gregorius, Leo, Vitellius and Macdugalius, four excavators, if she will not yield to him and also deceive Honuphrius by rendering conjugal duty when demanded. Anita,º who claims to have discovered incestuous
temptations from Jeremias and Eugenius,º would yield to the lewdness of Honuphrius to appease the savagery of
Sulla and the mercernariness of the twelve Sullivaniº and (asº Gilbert at first suggested)º to save the virginity of Felicia for
Magravius,º when converted by Michael after the death of Gillia,º but she fears thatº by allowing his marital rights she may cause reprehensible conduct between Eugenius and
Jeremias. Michael, who has formerly debauched Anita, dispenses her from yielding to Honuphrius who pretends publicly to possess his conjunct in thirtynine several manners (turpiter! affirm ex
cathedris Gerontes Cambronses) for carnal hygiene whenever he has rendered himself impotent to consummate by subdolence. Anita is disturbed,º but Michael comminates that he will reserve her case tomorrow for the ordinary Guglielmus even if she should practise a pious fraud during affrication which, from experience, she knows
(accordingº to Wadding)º to be leading to nullity. Fortissa, however, is encouraged by Gregorius, Leo, Vitelliusº and Magdugalius, reunitedly,º to warn Anita by describing the strong chastisements of
Honuphrius and the depravities (turpissimas!) of Canicula, the deceased wife of Mauritius, with Sulla, theº simoniac,º who isº abnegand and repents. Has
he hegemony and shall she submit?

D'Oyly Owens holds (|shthough Finn Magnusson of himself holds
alsosh|) that so long as there is a joint deposit account in the two names a mutual obligation is posited. Owens cites Brerfuchs and Warren, a foreign firm|sh,
since disseized,sh| registered as Tangos, Limited,º for the sale of certain proprietary articles. The action,º which was at the instance of the
{f10, 447}
trustee of the Heathen Church Emergencyº fund, suing by its trustee, a resigned civil servant, for the payment of tithes due,º was heard by Judge
Doyle and also by a common jury. No question arose as to the debt for which vouchers spoke volumes. The defence alleged that payment had been made
effective. The fund trustee, one Jucundus Fecundus Xero Pecundus Coppercheap, counterclaimed that payment was invalid,º having been tendered to creditor under cover of a crossed cheque, signed in the ordinary
course,º in the name of Wieldhelm, hurls crossº,
|shvoucher copy providedsh|, and drawn by the senior partner only by whom the lodgment of the species had been effected but in their joint names. The bank
particularised, the National Miseryº (now almost entirely in the hands of the four chief bondholders for value in Tangos, Limited),º declined to pay the draft, though there were ample reserves to meet the liability, whereupon the
trusty Coppercheap negotiatedº it for and on behalf of the fund of the thing to a client of his, a notary, from whom,
on consideration,º he received in exchange legal relief as between trusthee and bethrust,º with thanks. Since
thenº the cheque, a good washable pink, embossed D you Dº noº 11 hundred and thirty 2, good for the figure and face, had been circulating in the country for
over thirtynine years among holders of Pango stock, a rival concern,º though not one demonetised farthing had ever spun or fluctuated across the counter in the semblance of hard coin or liquid cash.
The jury (a sour dozen of stout fellows all of whom were curiously named after
Doylesº) naturally disagreed, jointlyº and severally,º and the belligerent judge, disagreeing
with the allied jurors' disagreement, went outside his jurisfiction altogether and ordered a garnishee attachment to the neutral firm. No mandamusº could locate the depleted Whilom Breyfawkesº as he had entered into an ancient
moratorium,º dating back to the times of the early barters,º and only the junior partner Barren could be found, who entered an
appearance and turned up, add woman in,º among the male jurors,º an obsoleteº turfwoman originallyº from the proletarian class withº still
a good title to her sexname of Ann Doyle, 2 Coppinger's Cottages, the Doyle Countryº. Doyle (Ann), upon a notice of motion and after service of the motion by
interlocutory injunction,º having regretfully left the juryboxers, protested cheerfully on the stand in a long jurymiad in re corset
checks,º delivered in Doylish,º that she had often, inº supply to brusk demands rising almost to bollion point,º discounted Mr Brakeforth's first of all in exchange at nine
months from date without issue and, to be strictly literal, unbottled in corrubberationº a current account of how she had been made at sight for services rendered the

series, which she, as bearer, used to endorse, adhesively,º to her various payers-drawers who in most cases were identified by the timber papers as wellknown tetigists of the city and
suburban. The witness, at her own request, asked if she might and wrought something between the sheets of music paper which she had accompanied herself with for the occasion and,º
this having been handed up for the bench to look at in camera, Coppinger's doll, as she was called (anniasº, MackErse'sº Dar, the adopted
child),º then proposed to jerrykin and jureens and every jim, jock and jarry in that little green courtinghousie for her satisfaction and as a whole act of settlement to reamalgamate herself, tomorrow perforce, in pardonership with the permanent suing fond trustee, Monsignore Pepigi, under the new
style of Will Breakfast and Sparrem, as, when all his cognisances had been estreated, he seemed to proffer the steadiest interest towards her, but this prepoposal was ruled out on appeal by Judge Jeremy Doylerº
who,º reserving judgment in a matter of courts and reversing the findings of the lower correctional, found, beyond doubt of treasonº, fending the dissassents of the pickpackpanel, twelve as upright
judaces as ever let down their thoms, and, occupante extremum scabie,º |shhanded downsh| to the
