comfort on every body else. A really
aggressive and well-developed specimen
will overshadow locality like ban

through all manner of fruit bitter to
the taste, and not to be digested with
out serious injury. These people supply
an ample stock of friction; they bring
out the latent possibilities of general
unpleasantness in large or small

only in the fallow ground, but by the
wayside, and are followed by abundant
harvests of the kind that are sown with
