leaving one unredeemed pledge The worst is over and the behind end Is in sight Just tight rein for a Just a bit of a couple more weeks pinch or a flurry or so now and then and we can let go and spit on our hands’ For once he varied his programme Instead of going directly to hts hotel he started on a round of the bars and cafes drinking a cocktail her and a This Is the first time I ever come to

yourcandle self and roll my advice over cnce In a while Good night” He turned and lurched out of the place the moral effect of his utterance largely spoiled by the fact that he was 60 patently full
