ady wi’ a cork leg, but as sharp — you wouldn’t catch her runnin’ her head into a sack; she’d see her way clear out o’ anything afore Edinson Cavani Tröja she’d be in a hurry to start. Well, she let out thirty Antonio Rudiger Jersey pound to a young man in the drapering line, and he laid it out i’ Laceham goods, Claudio Reyna Jersey an’ a shupercargo o’ my acquinetance (not Salt) took ’em out, an’ she got her eight per zent fust go off; an’ now you can’t hold her but she must be sendin’ out carguies wi’ every ship, till she’s gettin’ as rich as a rumänien Tröja Jew.
