Jaunty Jaun, as I was shortly before that made aware, next | 1 |
halted to fetch a breath,the first cothurminous leg of his night- | 2 |
stride being pulled through, and to loosen (let God's son now be | 3 |
looking down on the poor preambler!) both of his bruised | 4 |
brogues that were plainly made a good bit before his hosen were, | 5 |
at the weir by Lazar's Walk (for far and wide, as large as he was | 6 |
lively, was he noted for his humane treatment of any kind of | 7 |
abused footgear), a matter of maybe nine score or so barrelhours | 8 |
distance off as truly he merited to do. He was there, you could | 9 |
planemetrically see, when I took a closer look at him, that was to | 10 |
say, (gracious helpings, at this rate of growing our cotted child of | 11 |
yestereve will soon fill space and burst in systems, so speeds the | 12 |
instant!) amply altered for the brighter, though still the graven | 13 |
image of his squarer self as he was used to be, perspiring but | 14 |
happy notwithstanding his foot was still asleep on him, the way | 15 |
he thought, by the holy januarious, he had a bullock's hoof in his | 16 |
buskin, with his halluxes so splendid, through Ireland untran- | 17 |
scended, bigmouthed poesther, propped up, restant, against a | 18 |
butterblond warden of the peace, one comestabulish Sigurdsen, | 19 |
(and where a better than such exsearfaceman to rest from roving | 20 |
the laddyown he bootblacked?) who, buried upright like the | 21 |
Osbornes, kozydozy, had tumbled slumbersomely on sleep at | 22 |
night duty behind the curing station, equilebriated amid the | 23 |
embracings of a monopolized bottle. | 24 |
