...happened to . . . day? Are ships abroad?
I would like to but may not entertain a friend.
Save me from ghastly frights,

Triune! My wood or word seems to be rotting.
I daresay I'm collapsing. Worms are at hand.

somewhere once I heard. Nowadays I doze.
It's cold here.

The cold is ultimating. The cold is cold.

One from Maine or Vermont, and a Carolinian and an Oregonese, shall be friends triune,
 more
