he caught his paper dispillsation from the poke, old Minace and | 1 |
Minster York? Do I mind? I mind the gush off the mon like Bal- | 2 |
lybock manure works on a tradewinds day. And the O'Moyly | 3 |
gracies and the O'Briny rossies chaffing him bluchface and play- | 4 |
ing him pranks. How do you do, todo, North Mister? Get into | 5 |
my way! Ah dearome forsailoshe! Gone over the bays! When | 6 |
ginabawdy meadabawdy! Yerra, why would he heed that old | 7 |
gasometer with his hooping coppin and his dyinboosycough and | 8 |
all the birds of the southside after her, Minxy Cunningham, their | 9 |
dear divorcee darling, jimmies and jonnies to be her jo? Hold | 10 |
hard. There's three other corners to our isle's cork float. Sure, 'tis | 11 |
well I can telesmell him H2CE3 that would take a township's | 12 |
breath away! Gob and I nose him too well as I do meself, heav- | 13 |

girl, firstnighting down Sycomore Lane. Fine feelplay we had | 21 |
of it mid the kissabetts frisking in the kool kurkle dusk of the | 22 |
lushiness. My perfume of the pampas, says she (meaning me) | 23 |
putting out her netherlights, and I'd sooner one precious sip at | 24 |
your pure mountain dew than enrich my acquaintance with that | 25 |
big brewer's belch. | 26 |
    And so they went on, the fourbottle men, the analists, ungu- | 27 |
am and nunguam and lunguam again, their anschluss about her | 28 |
whosebefore and his whereafters and how she was lost away | 29 |
away in the fern and how he was founded deap on deep in anear, | 30 |
and the rustlings and the twitterings and the raspings and the | 31 |
snappings and the sighings and the paintings and the ukukuings | 32 |
and the (hist!) the springapartings and the (hast!) the bybyscutt- | 33 |
lings and all the scandalmunkers and the pure craigs that used to | 34 |

Nunsbelly Square. And all the buds in the bush. And the laugh- | 36 |
