Gripes, a dubliboused Catalick, wis pinefully obliviscent.
     I see, she sighed. There are menner. 
     The siss of the whisp of the sigh of the softzing at the stir of 
the ver grose O arundo of a long one in midias reeds: and shades
began to glidder along the banks, greepsing, greepsing, duusk  
unto duusk, and it was as glooming as gloaming could be in the

thats hights, Aquila Rapax, for he was the holy sacred solem and
poshup spit of her boshop's apron. So you see the Mookse he

there came down to the hither bank a woman to all important

and, for he was as like it as blow it to a hawker's hank, she
plucked down the Gripes, torn panicky autotone, in angeu from
his limb and cariad away its beotitubes with her to her unseen
