laughed for Mr. Lessells was by who was said to be like him and Saintravy being rounded in the ear smiled and said That he was sorry to be mistaken and so made it the worse and the wound wider to those that were told the meaning However my respects and service appeared to Sir VValters Kinsman which approves me without spleen Page 9.
