You would say they were snuffed a ring and weekly to three of the bear and sniffed ling in their cradles to get into coffins. But she'd shake them, tow life and does the results and feed them up so they couldn't but live and should plunk one down, finishing the wiping of the creature's name of the uncle dozing oven, Elbit stomach or the binding of a broken head with a look on her face as much as to say, Die on me, No and see what you'll get.

Menzies, our eldest son, would say, should reddish hair and a high school nose on a hand scalped her way through life and if ever, are so a senior at rest with the dark was done of the day was come. He died of the shock and never let on for From Morn till night. She was at it work work on our Elbit Croft slope to the sea when there wasn't a mist on the cold stone parks, there was more than likely the whip of the rain, willing and dripping in from the sea that soft and splashed by the land.
