nices' fat little Bink corned out o' the leaves o' it, an' he sed, "Is you a bookworm, too?" An' he sed, "Hello,
Oh, you Kiddd!" An' what-che-know-'bout 'at, ther' he was a bookworm his own self.
An' he was cutes' little fat Bink you ever did see, an fie had whites toofies,ah nc sed "The nuchisVyoul'
use toof powder all the better vour teeth crets whiter." An I sed. "Indeed, is 'at so?" An he sed. "Yes." 'Art?
he sed, "Let's go into this Fashion Book an' an' get some spring hats." An' we did, an' ther'1 was buflest
hats, an' I gotted a-one wif fevvers an' ribbons an an' spangles, an a n'orange velvet pussy kitten on to jtt(
