affair should happen before the sleeper could be aroused
" Oh, Lordy have mercy. Daddy daddy II she again
shrieked this time administering thorough shaking up

But daddy did mind his breeches, and continued gal

barking bis shins and stumbling everything within
his circuit, hunting for them
Meantime Aunt Ruth remained upon her knees, pray
