a Teacup, my blessed little bag-of-tricks, was ever
on the qui vive for a punks cuntlet, and a good old
go at Cully-shangy. But now He broke off and
shed a silent tear. Reaching for a honey-pot, by
which I here mean an actual jar of real china con-
taining the saccharine produce of the really truly
bee, he dipped his nervous nilnisitando into the
glucose mass, and withdrawing, leant back and
wearily chewed ginseng, while he cooled his throat
with a strong infusion of Cantharides in old
brandy. I am not what I was, he grumbled. These
tales of my youth weaken me. Since the Countess
called rot her rasp ! I have grown weaker, and
I doubt if Leila herself could wake the old fuzzle for
an hour or so. The flies were by this time a seeth-
ing mass upon his manly master-member ; they
fed like coffin-worms at a ladys eyes. The sad soul
stiffened ; Captain Standish was himself again.
This is an excellent method, explained the Archbishop ;
I have known it to succeed even in the direst ex-
tremity. When pross and prugge have done their
dirtiest : when jill and jomer have given up the
job : when Abbess and Artichoke have abandoned
the article in derision : then has Beelzebub come
to the rescue, and Father Abraham has believed
the yarn about Isaac. Now, while I feel restored, I
will ask you to accommodate me in your turd-trap,
and I will sing you beautiful songs about the time
when I was young. He was on my back before I
could reply, and the fetid fuck-fritters of the foul-
flip-flapped Father frizzled in my reeking-rectum.
