The Tale of the Shipwrecked Parent
"Hallelujah, I won by an eighth of an inch."
"When the Royal Surveyor came along the line with the official measurin' rods I was all 'et up with excitement. I didn't have no show to be a king, but there was several snug berths that I had an eye on, and it was going to be a close finish between me and the other mejium growths. Hallelujah, I won by an eighth of an inch, and was made Captain of the Royal Body Guard.
