My first attempt being to learn the multiplication-table My intention to learn to trill My wife was angry with me for not coming home, and for gadding My Jane's cutting off a carpenter's long mustacho My wife has got too great head to be brought down soon Nan at Moreclacke, very much pleased and merry with her Necessary, and yet the peace is so bad in its terms Never laughed so in all my life.
