AMTSADAM, sir, to you ! Eternest cit-
tas, heil ! Here we are again. I am bubub brought up under a camel act of dynasties long out of print, the first of Shitric Shilkan-
beard (or is it Owllaugh MacAuscullpth the Thord?), but, in pontofacts massimust, I am known throughout the world wherever my good Allenglisches Angleslachsen is spo-
07 ↑ken by Sall and Will from Augustanus to Ergastulus, as this is, whether in Farnum’s rath or Condra’s ridge or the meadows of Daikin or Monkish tunshep, by saints and sinners eyeeye alike as a cleanliving man and, as a matter of fict, by my halfwife, I think how our public at large appreciates it most highly from me that I am as clean-
living as could be and that my game was a fair average since I perpetually kept my ouija ouija wicket up. On my verawife I never was nor can afford to be guilty of crim crig con, of malfeasance trespass against parson with the person of a youthful gigirl frifrif friend chirped Apples, acted by Miss Dashe, in Kissilov’s Slutsgartern or Gigglotte’s Hill, when I would touch to her dot and feel most greenily of her unripe08 ↑ ones as it should prove most anniece and far too bahad, nieceless to say, to my repu-
tation on Babbyl Malket for daughters-in-
trade being lightly clad. I should her have awristed under my duskguise of whippers through toombs and deempeys, lagmen, was she but tinkling of such a tink. And, as a mere matter of ficfect, I tell of myself how I popo possess the ripest littlums wi-
fukie around the globelettes globes upon which she was romping off on Floss Mun-
dai out of haram’s way round Skinner’s cir-
cusalley first with her consolation prize in my serial dreams of faire women, Manne-
quins Passe, handicapped by two breasts in operatops, a remarkable little endowment garment. Fastened at various places. What spurt ! I kickkick keenly love such, par-
09 ↑ticularly while savouring of their flavours at their most perfect best when served with heliotrope ayelips, as this is, where I do drench my jolly soul on the pu pure beauty of her past.

She is my bestpreserved wholewife, so-
well her as herafter, in Evans’s eye, with incompatibly the smallest shoenumber out-
side chinatins. They are jolly dainty spekin tluly. May we not recommend them? It was my proofpiece from my prentice ser-
ving. And, alas, our private chaplain of Lambeyth and Dolekey bishopregionary, an always sadfaced man, in his lutestring pewcape with tabinet band, who has visited our various hard hearts and reins by imposition of fufuf fingers, olso haddock’s fumb, in that Upper Room can speak10 ↑ loud to you some quite complimentary things about my clean charactering, even when detected in the dark, distressful though such recital prove to me, as this is, when I introduced her (Frankfurters, numborines why drive fear?) to our fourpos-
ter tunis chantreying under Castrucci Sinior and De Mellos, those whapping oldsteirs, with sycamode euphonium in either nota-
tion in our altogether cagehaused ducky-

That was Communicator, a former Co-

18 ↑tion, frorn the Rivera in Januero, (he is not all hear) may fernspreak shortly with mes-
suages from my deadported. Let us cheer him up a little and make an appunkment for a future date. Hello, Commudicate ! How’s the buttes? Everscepistic ! He does not believe in our psychous of the Real Absence, neither miracle wheat nor soul-
surgery of P. P. Quemby. He has had some indiejestings, poor thing, for quite a little while, confused by his tonguer of baubble. A way with him ! Poor Felix Culapert !

Some day I may tell of his second storey. Mood ! Mood ! It looks like someone other bearing my burdens. I cannot let it. Kanes nought.

Well, yeamen, I have bared my whole past, I flatter myself, on both sides. Give me even two months by laxlaw in second division and my first broadcloth is business will be to protest to Recorder at Thing of all Things, or court of Skivinis, with mar-

In the humanity of my heart I sent out heyweywomen to refresh the ballwearied and then, doubling mega-
