something like that, that she'd ever seen,

she's been hedging more or less all winter,

seems that some woman friend of hers down
in the next block had porcelain bathtub

house, and VIGOROUSLY showed them to my
wife. My wife went to our landlord and
gave him bad quarter of an hour, III bet,

house after the first day of May. When we
first moved into the house we've got now

idyllic quietude that reigned in the neghbor-

the yelling of the kids on the block, She
says they're the noisest mavericks this side
