Did meet with malicious traffick-gudgeon in uniform and he wroth, and tell us we cannot lyghte our waye with such ninywhoop gadgets, so I did oblige the boorish fellow by blowing them both out, and we on our way quite merrie when he did promise to come to our backe yard come Tuesday eventide to play at tossing horse shoon.
