one, "you can have one drink for all that, we'll
lift You OFF the threshold and you can drink half
inside the house and half out. So one took hold
of each leg and thus they raised him up, while

one long drink, and was just drawing breath for
another, when one of bis supporters shifted a
little, and he shouted, 'Oh hold me even, bows
