We read to “wife’s wit better.” (255.27)

In our reading, we made it to "A babbel men dub gulch of tears" (254.17), but discussion will be pick up again from top page, "Was he pitssched for an ensemble".

Some favourites included: 

"one's only owned by naturel rejection. Charley, you're my drawing!" (252.27);

The children's dance at 252.29: "Till they go round if they go roundagain before breakparts and all dismissed. They keep. Step keep. Step. Stop.";

We enjoyed how "the mappamund has been changing pattern as youth plays moves from street to street since time and races were" (253.5);

And also that, as elsewhere, "wise ants hoarded and sauterelles were spendthrifts" (253.7).

We stopped at "Grassy ass ago." (252.13)

The words Grassy ass could be 'distortions' of gratias, meaning feeling dank (252.9)
In any case, they inspired Fritz Senn to recite the following limerick:

Catriona, a pretty young lass

Had a truly magnificent ass.

Not rounded and pink

As you possibly think

It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass.

(Thanks to Sabrina for sharing the same!)
