chopper. "How are you? What are you doing? How is everything with you ?"

"I am very glad, indeed."

man! There is no pleasure for you in this world and there will be none in the world to
come. You drunkard! You will burn in hell. Oh, you unlucky man! Oh, you unhappy one!
And so she would carry on, you know, in that strain. I can't tell you how much misery she suffered
