begun to think that was agoing TO say
something alfred cutting about these stuck
hashy houses and people that I'd seen here
in York-when the carriage driv up to a.
mother door. In we went, eat and drank,
and then out agin and then it was riding
from one house 10 another, and eating and
drinking till it got enajist dark, and was
