a loud finegale: Stop domb stop come back with my earring stop.10
But the prankquean swaradid: Am liking it. And there was a wild11
old grannewwail that laurency night of starshootings somewhere12
in Erio. And the prankquean went for her forty years' walk in13
Turnlemeem and she punched the curses of cromcruwell with14
the nail of a top into the jiminy and she had her four larksical15
monitrix to touch him his tears and she provorted him to the16

raining, raining, and in a pair of changers, be dom ter, she was18

Jarl van Hoother had his burnt head high up in his lamphouse,10
