- Jaunty
Jaun, as I was shortly
before that made aware, next
- halted to fetch a
breath, the first cothurminous
leg of his night-
- stride being pulled
through, and to loosen (let
God's son now be
- looking down on the poor preambler!) both of his
bruised
- brogues 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), a matter of maybe nine score or
so barrelhours
- distance off as truly he merited to do. He was
there, you could
- planemetrically see, when I took a closer look at
him, that was to
- say, (gracious helpings, at this rate of growing
our cotted child of
- yestereve will soon fill space and burst in
systems, so speeds the
- instant!) amply altered for the brighter, though
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, the way
- he thought, by the holy januarious, he had a
bullock's hoof in his
- buskin, with his
halluxes so splendid, through
Ireland untran-
- scended, bigmouthed
poesther,
propped up, restant,
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?) 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 monopolized bottle.
430
- Now, there were as many as
twentynine hedge daughters 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 antemeridian lesson of life, under its
tree, against its warn-
- ing, beseated, as they were, upon the brinkspondy,
attracted to
- the rarerust sight of the first human yellowstone
landmark (the
- bear, the boer, the king of all boors, sir
Humphrey his knave
- we met on the moors!) while they
paddled away,
keeping time
- magnetically with their eight and fifty pedalettes, playing
foolu-
- fool jouay allo misto posto, O so jaonickally,
all barely in their
- typtap teens, describing a charming
dactylogram
of nocturnes
- though repelled by the snores of the log who
looked stuck to
- the sod as ever and
oft, when liquefied, (vil!)
he murmoaned
- abasourdly in his
Dutchener's native, visibly
unmoved, over his
- treasure trove for the crown: Dotter dead
bedstead mean diggy
- smuggy flasky!
- Jaun (after he had in the
first place doffed a hat with a
rein-
- forced crown and bowed to all the others in that
chorus of praise
- 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, kittering all about, rushing and
making a tremen-
- dous girlsfuss over him
pellmale, their jeune
premier and his rosy-
- posy smile, mussing his
frizzy hair and the
golliwog curls of him,
- all, but that one; Finfria's fairest, done in
loveletters like a trayful
- of cloudberry
tartlets (ain't they fine, mighty,
mighty fine and
- honoured?) and smilingly smelling, pair and pair
about, broad
- by bread and slender to slimmer, the nice
perfumios that came
- cunvy peeling off him (nice!) which was
angelic
simply, savouring
- of wild thyme and
parsley jumbled with
breadcrumbs (O nice!)
- and feeling his full fat pouch for him so
tactily
and jingaling
- his jellybags for, though he looked a young
chapplie of sixtine,
- they could frole by his manhood that he was just
the killingest
- ladykiller all by kindness, now you, Jaun, asking
kindlily (hillo,
- missies!) after their howareyous at all with
those of their dolly-
- begs (and where's Agatha's lamb? and how are
Bernadetta's
- columbillas? and Juliennaw's tubberbunnies?
and Eulalina's
431
- tuggerfunnies?) he next 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 fricky-
- frockies, 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,
as lavariant,
- that the hook of her
hum was open a bittock at
her back to have
- a sideeye to that, hom, (and all of course just
to fill up a form
- out of pure human kindness and in a sprite of
fun) for Jaun, by
- the way, was by the way of becoming (I think, I
hope he was)
- the most purely human being that ever was called
man, loving all
- up and down the whole creation from Sampson's
tyke to Jones's
- sprat and from the King of all Wrenns down to
infuseries) Jaun,
- after those few prelimbs
made out through his
eroscope the
- apparition of his
fond sister Izzy for he knowed
his love by her
- waves of splabashing and she showed him proof by
her way of
- blabushing nor 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!) poor, good, true,
Jaun!
-
Sister dearest, Jaun delivered himself with express
cordia-
- lity, marked by clearance of diction and general delivery, as he
- began to take leave of his scolastica at once so
as to gain time
- with deep affection, we honestly believe you
sorely 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,
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, sis, 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, these tales
which reliter-
- ately whisked off our heart so narrated by thou,
gesweest, to
- perfection, our pet pupil of the whole
rhythmetic
class and the
- mainsay of our erigenal
house, the time we
younkers twain were
- fairly tossing ourselves (O
Phoebus! O Pollux!)
in bed, having
432
- been laid up with
Castor's oil on the Parrish's
syrup (the night

affections with
