   — I shot be shoddied, throttle me, fine me cowheel for ever,
usquebauched the ersewild aleconner, for bringing briars to Bem-

teries round old volcanoes. We gin too gnir and thus plinary
indulgence makes collemullas of us all. But Time is for talerman
tasting his tap. Tiptoptap, Mister Maut.
    He made one summery (Cholk and murble in lonestime) of his
the three swallows like he was muzzling Moselems and torched
up as the faery pangeant fluwed down the hisophenguts, a slake
for the quicklining, to the tickle of his tube and the twobble of
his fable, O, fibbing once upon a spray what a queer and queasy
spree it was. Plumped.
    Which both did. Prompt. Eh, chrystal holder? Save Ampster-
dampster that had rheumaniscences in his netherlumbs.
    — By the drope in his groin, Ali Slupa, thinks the cappon,

    — And be the coop of his gobbos, Reacher the Thaurd, thinks
your girth fatter, apopo of his buckseaseilers, but where's Horace's

    — I put hem behind the oasthouse, sagd Pukkelsen, tuning
wound on the teller, appeased to the cue, that double dyode
dealered, and he's wallowing awash swill of the Tarra water. And
it marinned down his gargantast trombsathletic like the marousers of
the gulpstroom. The kersse of Wolafs on him, shitateyar, he sagd in
the fornicular, and, at weare or not at weare, I'm sigen no stretcher,
for I carsed his murhersson goat in trotthers with them newbuckle-

    — Smoke and coke choke! lauffed till the tear trickled drown a
thigh the loafers all but a sheep's whosepants that swished to the
lord he hadn't and the starer his story was talled to who felt that,
the fierifornax being thurst on him motophosically, as Omar
sometime notes, such a satuation, debauchly to be watched for,
would empty dempty him down to the ground.

    — And hopy dope! sagd he, anded the enderer, now dyply
hypnotised or hopeseys doper himself. And kersse him, sagd he,
after inunder tarrapoulling, and the shines he cuts, shinar, the
screeder, the stitchimesnider, adepted to nosestorsioms in his
budinholder, cummanisht, sagd he, (fouyoufoukou!) which goes
in the ways smooking publics, sagd he, bomboosting to be in
thelitest civille row faction for a dubblebrasterd navvygaiterd,
(flick off that hvide aske, big head!) sagd he, the big bag of my
hamd till hem, tollerloon, sagd he, with his pudny bun brofkost
when he walts meet the bangd. I will put his fleas of wood in the

wastended shootmaker whatever poked a noodle in a clouth!
    So for the second tryon all the meeting of the acarras had it.
How he hised his bungle oar his shourter and cut the pinter off his
pourer and lay off for Fellagulphia in the farning. From his
dhruimadhreamdhrue back to Brighten-pon-the-Baltic, from our
lund's rund turs bag til threathy hoeres a wuke. Ugh!
    — Stuff, Taaffe, stuff! interjoked it his wife's hopesend to the
boath of them consistently. Come back to May Aileen.
    — Ild luck to it! blastfumed the nowraging scamptail, in flating
furies outs trews his cammelskins, the flashlight of his ire wacker-
ing from the eyewinker on his masttop. And aye far he fared from
Afferik Arena and yea near he night till Blawland Bearring,
baken be the brazen sun, buttered be the snows. And the sea
shoaled and the saw squalled. And, soaking scupper, didn't he
drain
