 Hay you ever had the measles, and if so, how many?

It was on fortnit remark, for the whole meeti, house lookt at me with mingled surpris' and indignation. I was about risin to , pint of order, when it suddenly occurt ] to me whare I was, and kept my seat blushin like the red, red rose-so t, speak.
