The vivaclty OF that animal is tho
most remarkable thing Of tins season
He didn't waste any time on superfluou
ceremonies. but rapidly notified al
within reach Of his intentions, and whel
he did get loose and left didn't set
anybody follow him
guess they pretty much shared my
opiniofi OF the animal-that the less they
had TO do with him tie more there
would be of them for other purposes.
