O

tell me all about

Anna Livia! I want to hear all
|
|
about
Anna Livia. Well, you know Anna Livia? Yes, of course,
|
|
we all
know Anna Livia. Tell me all. Tell me now. You'll die
|

when you
hear. Well, you know, when the old cheb went futt
|

and did
what you know. Yes, I know, go on. Wash quit and
|

don't be
dabbling. Tuck up your sleeves and loosen your talk-

tapes.
And don't butt me

ever it

Fiendish

Look at
the dirt of it! He has all my water black on me. And it
|
|
steeping
and stuping since this time last wik. How many goes
|

is it I
wonder I washed it? I know by heart the places he likes to

saale,
duddurty devil! Scorching my hand and starving my fa-

mine to
make his private linen public. Wallop it well with your
|

battle
and clean it. My wrists are wrusty rubbing the mouldaw
|
|
stains.
And the dneepers of wet and the gangres of sin in it! What
|
|
was it he
did a tail at all on Animal Sendai? And how long was
|
|
he under
loch and neagh? It was put in the newses what he did,
|
|
nicies
and priers, the King fierceas Humphrey, with illysus dis-

exploits and all. But toms will till. I know he well. Temp

Reeve
Gootch was right and Reeve Drughad was sinistrous! And
|

the cut
of him! And the strut of him! How he used to hold his

head as
high as a howeth, the famous eld duke alien, with a hump
|
|
of
grandeur on him like a walking wiesel rat. And his derry's
|

and his corksown blather and his doubling stutter

when he raped her home, Sabrine asthore, in a parakeet's

cage, by
dredgerous lands and devious delts, playing catched and

Pemmican's pasty pie! Not a grasshoop to ring her, not an

from the
harbourless Ivernikan Okean, till he spied the loom of

his
landfall and he loosed two croakers from under his tilt, the

Phenician rover. By the smell of her kelp they made the

Like fun they did! But where was Himself, the
