And ancient danes bring healing
YARDS to rob my anguish of its bafbs,
and hermits from their caves and

by me as foes, with them I've swap

held that others were insane. Wed

fere in the matter.

Of course everybody groaned but when l picked dOllie up she just smiled and wasn't hurt a single bit. was great relief to dad fer he thought she would surely break. Now he knows she won't.
