It is very strange. Because
I remember having seen it. You didn't take it for anything, did you?
We shall have to get a new one, I suppose. It is very annoying. My
new shoes have also not worn well. And they ought to have. Because
Robina says they were expensive. The donkey has come. And he is
sweet. He eats out of my hand. And lets me kiss him. But he won't
go. He goes a little when you shout at him. Very loud. Me and
Robina went for a drive yesterday after tea. And Dick ran beside.
And shouted. But he got hoarse. And then he wouldn't go no more.
And Robina did not like it. Because Dick shouted swear words. He
says they come naturally to you when you shout. And Robina said it
was horrible. And that people would hear him. So we got out. And
pushed him home. But he is very strong. And we were all very tired.
And Robina says she hates him. Dick is going to give Mr. 'Opkins
half a crown. To tell him how he makes him go. Because Mr. 'Opkins
makes him gallop. Robina says it must be hypnotism. But Dick thinks
it might be something simpler. I think Mr. 'Opkins very nice. He
says you promised to lend him a book. What would help him to talk
like a real country boy. So I have lent him a book about a window.
By Mr. Bane. What came to see us last year. It has a lot of funny
words in it. And he is going to learn them up. But he don't know
what they mean. No more do I.
