I’ll tell you how I got, caught, t was always the darn deM, tea-custard bashful fellow you erer did see; it was kinder in my line to be taken with the shakes every time I saw a pretty girl approach me, and I’d cross the street at any time rather than to face one: ’ wasn’t because I didn’t like the critters, for if I was behind the fence looking thruugli a khut iioie, I coUldti’t look long enough.
