switching around in SO lively fash

my cape turned up over my head as

In his coat he found big pin easily,
and with it fastened on my cap.
He was bald, erect old man,
whose name was Abel Martin. He
was angular chested, but strong, for
he could row and do it we'll. He al
ways put me in mind of a bumble-

pop large bonbons. His pockets were
full of fancy pressed cookies, and Of
ten child ran from him to her moth
er, crying: "See nut! Me got nuts"
He even had tender smile for the
absurd lovers who, getting behind
cabin or a big box, WOO desperately
the objects of their fancy.
At first he used to appal matrons
by his freedom, when he would hope
chair he had would be accepted by
them, but soon even they gave him
pleasant glance.
One week opened with a gale Mon.
