he was waiting for the carriage, with
an umbrella under his oxter, and a bun

was sore thing, for his eyes were lug

he had a host that was just dreadful

at the chamber door Of the poor c:ea
lures precious SOUL But we travel

that his friends were making victim
Of him. He, however, had no lear

When we came, I think it was to tn
town of Lancaster, steppit out to &c
a chop CT dinner, leaving the lad in tin
