The last reading stopped at “blatherumskite!” (453.21)
Some of the night's favourites were:
1
’tis a grand thing (superb!) to be going to meet a king, not an everynight king, nenni, by gannies, but the overking of Hither-on-Thither Erin

2
We only wish everyone was as sure of anything in this watery world as we
are
of everything in the newlywet fellow that’s bound to follow. (452.29)
3
till you spit stout, you understand, after soused mackerel, sniffling
clambake to hering and impudent barney, braggart of blarney (453.4)
4
Goodboy Sommers and Mistral Blownowse hugs his kindlings when voiceyversy it’s
my gala bene fit, robbing leaves out of my taletold book. (453.16)
With thanks to A.
