howled mournfully
a commercial traveler
she flashed white teeth
tailored slacks
a frilly organdie blouse
tousled silk
I was all eyes for the girl
I was well gone = in love with
somebody
trimmed with ostrich feathers
I hurried him into the bush here, the
Australian jungle
all wet and pulpy
you took him for better or for worse
Fancy him doing that!
He was hampering me in my courting
a serious handicap
I persisted in my wooing
we were due to return
chased her
I was put out
The-Silly-Pups disdainful survey of
the turkeys
so that was that
digs up my neighbours dahlias
get out, you wretch!
