Hearing aids mentioned for the first time A japanese gentleman now stood up A chip in the sugar The huddled column pressed on up the steps An englishman abroad Crack of dawn this morning They were all going up in the lift Midgley went and looked at his father Hartley and his family were going The outside dog The low walls are sharp and new looking Unable to still find our cemetery On sundays there are musical evenings Steppes in the right direction The sight of a prominent actor Galvanised by the sound Waiting for the telegram During the saxophone solo In front of the professor was a member of the government The silence that followed Festooned as he was with tubes and drains Clive had been a masseur Starnge hairs were another item Aftermyth of war Bollard Watching this reunion with a smile Nights in the gardens of spain It occured to mrs ransome Amid the general rejoicing Over the following weeks Retirement clock Pottery class Mr dodsworth Canteen food His dad lived where he had lived once No mean city House dark when i got in One afternoon a few weeks later People seldom wrote to the ransomes There was a long refectory table Lied Mr ransome has not come well out of this narrative Hopkins seemed to be taking less interest in the diary Man bites god And the same to you Tvpm Diary The hand of god Article in the mail yesterday Gents outfitter Old revised layout I saw him before the trial started Mrs ransome does not immediately notice Civil war Wo schon vom herzog It started spitting this afternoon In der folgenden woche Playing sandwiches When i went upstairs to wipe round the toilet One day when pooh bear had nothing else to do Pooh was sitting in his house one day A man of principles Under canvas The suspense is killing me We used to go to church Im kleinen garten Jeden dienstag We meet again miss plunkett Did you have a mother? Die queen wäre womöglich Die queen las nun On the edge of the forest there was a wooden bridge Ask her for her card Bloody rhondda mine She goes everywhere Auf windsor gab es One of them who had a funny habit Nach dienstschluss Eine der wiederkehrenden pflichten Derweil kam und ging Nachdem sie die freuden A cream cracker under the settee As soon as rabbit was out of sight While piglet was dreaming his happy dream One leg too few A question of attribution Dem innenminister war Not enough buses Black equals white I kept wondering about miss ventress Two lines of dialogue Had leeds modern school Renee gollops her food Sitting on the bench Urn burial Nichts von dem Zu ihrer eigenen Auch der hof Am tag vor seiner abreise Soldiering on Obschon er sie Prayer before birth Christopher robin had spent the mornig indoors We are getting changed after swimming Shuffle at the top Bread alone The screw unturned Gimov Her big chance Beeny cliff A public face Bed among the lentils Two in torquay But let me say before it has to go Thora hird In those days laden with smoke and dust So after the breakfast they went round to see piglet Enlisting in the ranks of deviancy has nothing In the plays that i have written Two years later and nothing much has happened Dons Absurd Months passed Seeing stars Dramatised Risk Talking stops Less horrified Another strategy for acceptance I looked up from my writing Proud songsters Transfusion Looking back Sorry saga Neither my brother or i Never attacked Zur festen zeit Midnight on the great western Honours system In church Flattering T e lawrence The shielding of mrs forbes A common assault When the rain began pooh was asleep Pooh looked after her as she went Christopher robin lived at the very top of the forest Piglet is entirely surrounded by water Kanga and baby roo come to the forest Christopher robin gives a pooh party At first pooh and rabbit and piglet walked together Piglet had got up early that morning Until she was quite late on in life Fervently christian though i am I share my shameful secret with no one Despairing of finding an understanding seamstress This be the verse The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand Tweedledum and tweedledee were standing under a tree Whether my parents took note of these early torments And she got better as she got older A pained letter Cbe The scholarship boy Few occasions Mood indigo Annus mirabilis Last words to a dumb friend Opening announcement A first Present day circumstances Fallen at this Other masters The examination These days Turning a question on its head When all was ready for a start once more During luncheon They disembarked As he sat on the grass Arise sir The mole never heard a word Each animal took it in turns Get to you I should like to buy an egg please Rabbit has a busy day
