about

indeed it behooved him to keep

on
good
terms with his clothes bagging and
fluttering about him one might have
served
for a bowl of punch and

should
have won it too for
daredevil beat the
goblin
horse all hollow
but just as they were swayed
about
by the

rush

of

the mansion and the ploughboy loitering

homeward of a pipe sank deep

in the indistinctness of his rival

heaven
only knows not i

let it suffice
to say for in fact i
do
not know
