In thus standing good for these guys?

And. stories and stunts-and lies.

And befuddle and middle their speakers,
Stick the knife 'twixt their fifth and

But things happen that's stranger than
Its up to you! o call on the gods
That rule Ger your kingdom mysterious
To eircumvent-heres hoping = these
