hasn't smelled anything for years did

you do it all on the way back from the

marshes we did and it was a waste of

time fishing has to be taken seriously

all the features don't participate

everything in order Robert sighs I have

we detect a certain uneasiness in your

manner how about some coffee trade bring

two cups of coffee we were followed to

the Abbey by a girl

what sort of girl young girl quite a

pretty girl she represents a newspaper I

believe a lily-white I've been what I

told her which way the wind blew nothing

to worry about you the marsh girl it was

understood that if either of us ever got

mixed up with a lily-white in the

mineral business then we'd pack up and

go home we gave a solemn promise and him

very well once a considerable time ago

we was married to a lily watch me tell

me so far as we are aware and we still

own what happened she left us for the

quartermaster of the Buffs Nvidia

inferior fella what were you thinking

what did you do about it personally we

rejoiced any idea what happened to the

lady

we heard she settled down somewhere in

the south with a herd of cows and the

quartermaster sergeant what's the model

of all this CV we look back on the

business with great surprise at

ourselves if everything was a man's own

fault

that was we talked ourself into it we

told ourselves that we loved her and we

believed it

we endowed her with beauty of body and

soul greater than she or any other

living white could ever possess there's

men doing it all the time Robert

talking themselves up the aisle what

does the Lillywhite have to do nothing

nothing at all just sit tight and let

the fool talk well then when he's done

it then he spends the rest of his life

blaming her for not being what he told

us she was it's pitiful to watch Robert

pitiful that's the moral Robert I wish

padow wouldn't go wandering off on his

own he said something about a chat with

a coast guard for boys both he's fond of.

Coast Guard I wish I didn't find him

quite so chilly Oh a wheel from the.

Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries oh

please come inside gentlemen make

yourselves comfortable gentlemen drop of

bandy beer I should say whoever heard of

brandy in these days thank you thank you

no mr. Witt did my Minister is not

satisfied that the farmers in this area

are making the best use of their land

what's it got to do with your Minister

you're not contesting the government's

interest in feeding the people I presume

very good thing the people are starving

poor devil now assuming you set aside a

certain number of acres for grazing is

there any reason why the rest of it

shouldn't be turned over and soon with

the example potatoes never touch him oh

why starchy

good morning coast guard uh-huh

things in the Marshall Bank now they got

lost

dull out here I just have Dow well
