     And they viterberated each other, ]]canis et coluber]] with the 
wildest ever wielded since Tarriestinus lashed Pissasphaltium.
          Unuchorn! 
          Ungulant! 
          Uvuloid! 
          Uskybeak! 
     And bullfolly answered volleyball. 
     Nuvoletta in her lightdress, spunn of sisteen shimmers, was 
looking down on them, leaning over the bannistars and listening

Petite Bretagne and she rounded her mignons arms like Mrs
Cornwallis-West and she smiled over herself like the beauty of
the image of the pose of the daughter of the queen of the Em-
