THE BOOK OF NOWONDAH.
And it came to pass in those days, that for ths second time Foworidah the scribe was smitten by the plague-even the Blits-so that he was constrained to gird up hie loins and run to the closet, and he did run - New there had been during the day, certain men who did destroy the dung-house with fire and burn it to the ground, so that when Fcwcndah was come, he fell down and emote his breast saying "Woe is me, for I have no throne on which to sit" and the heavens did open and rain did pour forth But time was short, so Nowondah did rise and did go 'unto a nearby tent and did say, "Tell me, I pray thee, where is the closet?" and? the other did say "verily, he is in the orderly room." Then quoth NownnAßh "I mean not that closet 0 fool - I woul enthrone myself". Then said the other "It is yonder by the week - Thou art the fourscore and tenth that did ask this question today." but Mowondab did. not hear these, words, but departed hastily, heeding not, and he did journey until he did find it, and did enthrone himself, rejoicing. Thus said Nowondah.
