Impositien upon Maid Krayven

y & by it happent that Siriul Merta, after he had departed out from outen the inn wherein he had solt his possessiens, gat him self unto his sister’s house, and said unto

her, Sister, I am tosst into the dust with the dregs of our sociedy, by those who wud shame our house galore—for I say, Shame one, and thou hast shame-ed us all. Saist thou this also? And he shew sweet eyes unto her.

And his sister Krayven Merta said unto him, What, hast thou been flippt away by the bitter Nesassiny? Yea, I will go and stomp out her guts for thee, for a certain fee. (For these were days when proffot were expectnd.)

But Siriul Merta answerd and said unto her, Nay; her I have in mine own sights. But to stay here as a precious visitor, and to keep the god Beuel out there with thy dog Paul, this is all that I wud of thee. For I have been flippt away, and have nought, as robbers have opted for my things, leaving me an empty life for fixing.

And Krayven Merta stood silent, praying that Siriul Merta were never born, that he come not upon her this burden at this time. But after her praying, seen she Siriul Merta yet before her, still born. And knowing Siriul Merta her brother, that in the next moment cud he become insane, she did fear, and offerd him room.

And when that he was well in, and had sated of the jambalaya which his sister did prepare, then thray he her into the street, saying, I perfer to live here by my self now, for I am solitary, and wud notte be hinderd in my musings & my maneuvrings.

And she ran her straightway unto the gang of assriders which taketh in unclaimd womans to make a common wife. Sooth, she had thinkt in such mode afore, but only just now were her fates in collusion and the zodiac assent. And she did ride upon an ass behind the criminol which were calld Chariot Wheel.
