ohh the tag is broken.
i thought she met your father in luxemburg.

which mountains are those dear?
ohhh i've never been there.
oh what happened?
ohhh .  dear. not another word from the shock, yes it would be.
terrible. terrible
well you stopped combing your hair, which is a good thing, it was looking over done. you see these are the slits that the heads will go through, show him nessie .  they'll be dead, the reverend is going to use animal blood, no doubt it will be very dramatic. tea!
like it were a piano?
biscuits.' no, no sound.
no sound at all?
well, she was very violent with the gown. she tore off a chunk of lace. if hadn't been there i'd have sworn she'd used her teeth
oh, yes, yes of course, a concern.
oh indeed. cotton'.
certainly, there is nothing so easy to like as a pet and they are quite silent.

i can't imagine a fate worse than being dumb. turn around.

mr. baines, do come and turn pages
ohhh, it's so dark, it's like a dank cave.
ohh no, it makes my skin creep!
alisdair, is it because of our play? have the natives aggressed you?
we have just come from george banes' and they have taken him over. it is no wonder he is leaving, he has got in too deep with the natives. they sit on his floor as proud as kings, but without a shred of manners.
he is quite altered, as if they had been trying some native witchcraft on him. well tomorrow or the day after he will be gone.
well he has nothing to pack, but he is leaving. and it is just as well; nessie has foolishly grown an affection for him .  we have had some tears
stop it! stop!
you know i am thinking of the piano. she does not play the piano as we do nessie.
