have baked goose for dinner and con-
gratulaLe each other on an early spring.
If it is sunny day we always get drunk
and smash windows. That's why got
drunk. 1t has been irregular custom for
years and years, and / hope you won't
hop on to me with big sentence."
II can't help about Its being a custom,
