strong current Of air opens every leaf

they are suspended In disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held

much less respect for gate, and
would rather kick 1t than knock on 1t.
"But a gate is more useful than a
door because 1t does everything that
door can do. and, besides that, It
can be climbed over, and often Is.
