O, sweet good luck they're cawing you, Coole! You see, they're as white as the riven snae. Not such big steps. It is hardly a mile or seven. It is very good for health in the morning. It seems so long since. As if you had been long far away. You will tell me some time if I can believe its all. You know where I am bringing you? You remember? Not a soul but ourselves. We might call
on the Old Lord, what do you say? He is a good sport. His door always open. Remember to take off your white hat, ech? And say hoothoodoo. You'll know our way from there, surely? Flura's way.

I am so exquisitely pleased about the lovely dress I have. You will always call me Leafy, won't you? And you won't urbjunk to my parafume, oiled of Kolloonely. Sm! It's Allpine Smile from Yesther and Yesthers. I'm in everywince
