one does not think about it. Now it is winter but it is as warm as in summer.

      Dear friends have a way of relating themselves to a town. We find in some districts that there are better ways of investing money. Some find that at the end of the war they are not able to continue paying on their houses.

      Does this affect you.

      Oh no because even if the father of my child is killed his sister will continue to give the money. She is obliged to by law.

      This makes the whole matter very simple.

      Not to me I have always been accustomed to it and have had some difficulty.

      Yes we know we know that it is suddenly cold.

      You are not pleased to see the sun setting. Indeed I cannot blame you.

      Polybe in Port: A Curtain Raiser

      Polybe in Port.

      A hunter. He was not a hunter. He had a gun. I do not know whether they have permission to shoot.

      Of course he must have if he has a gun. In this country they have a great many dogs who hunt rabbits. They run quicker.

      We are surprised to see him.

      Polybe is an ornament.

      He is not thinner.

      He likes the water now.

      This I do not believe.

      Neither do I believe there was any intention to go that way. Which way do you mean. Polybe does not remember. Me. Yes. The house. Yes. The servant. Yes. You are not mistaken.

      We are not mistaken.

      A great many shrubs every one of which are labelled.

      Scene II.

      A credit to me.

      The cares and duties of a mother had been denied to Carrie Russell.

      Polybe silent.

      He said earnestly that it didn't matter.

      Spanish Chattings

      Do you keep books.

      All weddings are back.

      Pigeons.

      Pigeons recognise persons. Do they. We saw them. They flew around.

      Shooting pigeons is necessary. For what. For the sea.

      I see old peppers that are dried. We do not complain. We say winds are violent and I do not wish them. Wish for them. I do not wish to see the stars. Call it out of here. You mean that pole. No indeed I don't mean Inca.

      Oh yes certainly.

      They Came Together

      I can tell a little story. I cannot describe the character nor the color in the street nor the kind of a stone. A great many people have silver purses.

      Wild Flowers

      We collected wild flowers. We enjoyed it very much. In a window we saw exhibited the things that can be found in the country.

      There was a satisfaction that we had the temporary installation which made it possible for us to ask another servant not to visit our servant. We did not do so. We were not neglectful of our best interests.

      Will They Crush Germany

      They will crush Germany. There is no doubt about it.

      France

       Table of Contents

      Likely and more than evenly, unevenly and not unlikely, very much that and anyway more, this is the left over method. There is nothing left because if it were left it would be left over. This does not make music. The time to state that is in reading. There is a beginning in a lesson in smiling.

      What is up is not down and what is down is not reversing and what is refused is not a section and what is silenced is not speaking. This does not make the rude ones murmur, this does not make a penny smaller, this does not make religion.

      All the time there is a melodrama there is monopoly and all the time there is more there is no excuse.

      A luck in breaths is more to be denied than music, much more. The only long string is that which is not twisted. All the same there is no excuse.

      A sight is not a shadow and a whole rise in a cry is not more piercing than danger of being mixed into an affair where there are witnesses. If writing is in little pieces and little places and a little door is open, many little doors are not open and writing is not surreptitious, it is not even obliging.

      To show the difference between an occasion and merit and a button it is necessary to recognise that an honor is not forced so that there is no question of taste. To exchange a single statue for a coat of silk and a coat of wool is not necessary as there are appliances. A somber day is one when there is no pleading.

      Made in haste, not made in haste, made in darkness, not made in darkness, made in a place, made in a place. The whole stretched out is not part of the whole block, the whole stretched out is so arranged that there is not stumbling but what is just as remarkable, pushing. An easy expression of being willing, of being hunting, of being so stupid that there is no question of not selling, all these things cause more discussion than a resolution and this is so astonishing when there is nothing to do and an excellent reason for an exchange, and yet the practice of it makes such an example that any day is a season.

      To be sure that the trees have winter and the plants have summer and the houses painting, to be sure of this engages some attention. The time to place this in the way is not what is expected from a diner. The whole thing that shows the result is the little way that the balls and the pieces that are with them which are not birds as they are older do not measure the distance between a cover and a calendar. This which is not a question is not reverse and the question which is a question is at noon.

      To question a special date is not mercenary. To answer a single servant is not obligatory. To be afraid is not nearsighted. An exclamation does not connect more grass than there is with any more trees than have branches. The special scenery which makes the blameless see and the solitary resemble a conversation is not that which resembles that memory. There is no necessity for furthering the regulation of the understanding. One special absence does not make any place empty. The dampness which is not covered by a cloth is not mingled with color. And it comes. There is no astonishment nor width.

      Education, education, apprenticeship, and all the meeting of nephews and trains and changing papers and remaining when there is no chance to go there, all this occupied a whole sentence. It is a shame that there is not such an only use for that, it is a shame and there is no indignation more indignant. Everything is an indication of the simple remedy that is applied when there is no refusal and no application. Every thing which shows that is not tied with a string or any little string. All the same there is not much of a remedy.

      Alarm over the action of the one who when he sees the light rise and the sun set and the stars shine and the water flow alarm is the same alarm as any alarm.

      In all the same ways that pieces are separated in all these ways there are those placed things which are not pieces. They are not pieces and there is reason, there is reason in it because the whole thing shows such dissociation that all doing it for that purpose and together there can be no question but that they succeed.

      A tobacco habit is one that a leaf does not enlighten and yet carelessness is so extraordinary. Supposing that the arrangement had been made and that it was agreed that no separation between any one being one and being another one could be established, supposing this were agreed and there was no conversation, would this enlighten any one, if it would why is the result so ambiguous. It is not ambiguous because the authority which does not authorise washing does supply soap. This does not make any change.

      It is sensible to be around it is very sensible, it is so
