C. Third voice, or Mental Basso, low grumble of importunate self-repeating idea. A. White lace, three skirts, looped with flowers, wreath of apple-blossoms, gold bracelets, diamond pin and ear-rings, the most delicious berthe you ever saw, white satin slippers B. Deuse take her!

B. Second part, or Mental Barytone, my running accompaniment. C. Third part, or Mental Basso, low grumble of an importunate self-repeating idea. A. White lace, three skirts, looped with flowers, wreath of apple-blossoms, gold bracelets, diamond pin and earrings, the most delicious berthe you ever saw, white satin slippers B. Deuse take her!

I often accompanied F on his eel-fishing expeditions, but more for the sake of companionship than from any amusement I found in the sport.
