finder return to Mrs Marion Bloom and I saw his eyes on my feet going out
through the turning door he was looking when I looked back and I went there
for tea 2 days after in the hope but he wasnt now how did that excite him
because I was crossing them when we were in the other room first he meant the
shoes that are too tight to walk in my hand is nice like that if I only had a
ring with the stone for my mouth a nice aquamarine Ill stick him for one
and a gold bracelet I dont like my foot so much still I made him spend
once with my foot the night after Goodwins botchup of a concert so cold
and windy it was well we had that rum in the house to mull and the
fire wasnt black out when he asked to take off my stockings lying on the
