you like best? Reading. You
liked reading best. Are you a
good reader? Not very good.
But I am now. You are a good
reader now. And what parts of
the numbers did you like best? |

soon tell me as not, wouldn't you
Marion? I would if I could
remember. Yes, of course And
you are not sorry because you
can't remember are you? That IS
nothing to cry about, is it Marion?
That would be 4 joke on me, and
not on you, wouldn't lt2 Isn't
that right Marion? Now. Marion,
