Rooney up in my arms tenderly, as I would a bould child she screeching and screeching like mad: whereupon her jock caught on the chair, pocket-hole or something, and give one rent from head to fut and that was the tattering of the jock.
Only the pocket-hole could release him, so I held that safely in my hand all through the service, lest the congregation might suffer the wrath of a furious bee, which in truth is no light matter, for in blind fury it will rush at the first person it meets and leave its sting in the face or hand.
