hungert: hungry
I have my pet crow here who is hungry.
Can he search your corn field for left over corn free from danger of you eating him?
He is called Archibald and the small boy under me is called Windy Windlestrae who we want to run away to sea.
And could the same courtesy be extended to Archibald’s friend Agnes, who is out of sight, and who is an awful nice lady crow and will not crow back at you.
Or peck out your rotten eye.
