and Henry the Cook, were earnestly besecching
and fondling the fair maiden.

Arsel, and for four years, from the beginning
had he been the fair madeu's chosen Attorney to
prosecute her erring people.
u. And Amador was greatly importuned, even
INTO persecution by many Others who desired to do
her prosecution.

the physicians called Frazer whereof he was
carried away.
