Fran's conception of the Clinton

A comedy which came very near

and had had rather poor sport. Lying
down for a bit of rest upon some
rank dry grass on the edge of wood
in the afternoon, l was seized from
behind without a moments warning
by a huge tigress, which had got my
scent and silently tracked me down.
"She seized me by the breast OF the
coat with her great teeth. and quickly
shook me into a state Of unconscious

for a while where I was and what had

eyes, and then discerned the great
beast sinking away, sneezins all the

No one dared to answer him, not
