Then. 10 it's shame be II said, most OF
the members OF the company stuck small
fingers into small mouths and began 10
giggle. while none showed that CONVERSE

This set the standard for conversation.

Lies prone upon yon rock amid the storm
That doomed his ship. and as he wildly raves
For bread-for water. which he madly Graves
