Barrel Alley is a blind alley-that means it has an end to it and you can't go any further. It runs plunk into the end of Shad Row. Norris Row is the right name, but old man Norris is named Shadley Norris, so us fellows call it Shad Row. You can get through the end of Barrel Alley if you climb over old man Norris back fence, so it isn't exactly a blind alley.

Roach and ray both come from the Latin raria, applied then as in the latter case now to bottom-living sharks. Flounder comes from the verb, which in turn is derived from flounce, a word which is lost in antiquity. Shad is lost in sceadda, Anglo-Saxon for the same fish.

DEAR SHAD AND ZOETH: I am writing this to you because I have known you pretty much all my life and you are the only real friends I have got in this world. "I was his friend, or I tried to be," commented Baxter, interrupting his reading; "but he considered you two, and always spoke of you, as his oldest and nearest friends. He has often told me that he knew he could depend on you. Now listen."

Whichever you dislike the most, you will be sure to get. Now I understand what she meant when she asked me before dinner if I would praise the shad," and she joined her father's laugh; it was so contagious. "Well, I will be compelled to cry quits, sure enough," said Plaisted; "but I never suspected that she could make such comical verses." "Oh! that is second-hand poetry, Plaisted.
Salted shad and mackerel should be put into a deep plate and covered with boiling water for about ten minutes after it is thoroughly broiled, before it is buttered.
