but ever since he started a cucumber-frame last summer hehas regarded himself in the light of an agriculturist, and talks inthis absurd way with the idea of impressing the rest of the terracewith the notion that he is a retired farmer. I can only hope that forthis once he is correct, and that the weather really is doing good tosomething, because it is doing me a considerable amount of damage. Itis spoiling Brasil Drakt Barn both my clothes and my temper. The latter I can afford,as I have a good supply of it, but it wounds me to the quick to see mydear old hats and trousers sinking, prematurely worn and aged, beneaththe cold world's blasts and snows.
There is my new spring suit, too. A beautiful suit it was, and now itis hanging up so bespattered with mud I can't bear to look at it.
That was Jim's fault, that was. I should never have gone out in itthat night if it had not been for him. I was just trying it on whenhe came in. He threw up his arms with a wild Manchester United Damen yell the moment becaught sight of it, and exclaimed that he had "got 'em again!"I said: "Does it Usa Landslagsdrakt fit all right behind?""Spiffin, old man," he replied. And Maillot Guadalajara then he wanted to know if I wascoming out.

When I got home I undressed and rubbed myself down with whisky, put myfeet in hot water and a mustard-plaster on my chest, had a basin ofgruel and a glass of hot brandy-and-water, tallowed my nose, and wentto bed.
These prompt and vigorous measures, aided by a naturally strongconstitution, were the means of preserving my life; but as for thesuit! Well, there, it isn't a suit; it's a Valencia Koszulka splash-board.
And I did fancy that Maillot Autriche suit, too. But that's just the way. I never doget particular{y fond of anything in this world but what somethingdreadful happens to it. I had a tame rat when I was a boy, and Iloved that animal as only a boy would love an old water-rat; and oneday England Damen it fell into a large dish of gooseberry-fool that was standing tocool in the kitchen, and nobody knew what had Ghana Trikot become of the poorcreature until the second helping.
I do hate wet weather in town. At least, it is not so much the wet asthe mud that I object to. Somehow or other I seem to possess anirresistible alluring power over mud. Maillot Turquie I have only to show myself inthe street on a muddy day to be half-smothered by it. It all comes ofbeing so attractive, as the old Koszulka New York Red Bulls lady said when she was struck bylightning.
