is witty, but is far less characteristic:
One day Charlie came home from

one of the pi3ns, told our class to-day??s
he asked indignantly. aHe told them
that the United States would have been.

French and Lafayette, and that french

if he had ever heard of George Wash

man: but it was the French who beat

Whereupon Charles mamma told III
