    Day one midday towards the on platform rear an of bus S saw I young a
     whose man was neck long too who and wearing was hat a a with cord plaited it round.
     Started to suddenly he neighbour claiming harangue his purposely trod that he toes every
     on his got in time anyone or out. Abandoned the discussion however he rapidly dash for a
     and made a vacant seat.
    I saw him again a few hours later gare Saint-Lazare engrossed in front
     of the a friend who was in a conversation with the top button of telling him to get his
     overcoat raised somewhat.

ellenisms
    In a hyperomnibus full of petrolonauts in a chronia of metarush I was a martyr to this microrama; a more than icosimetric hypotype, with a petasus pericycled by a caloplegma and a eucylindrical macrotrachea, anathematized an ephemeral and anonymous outis who, he pseudologed, had been epitreading his bipods, but as soon as he euryscoped a coenotopia he peristrophed and catapelted himself on to it.
    At a hysteretic chronia I aesthesised him in front of the siderodromous hagiolazaric stathma; peripating with a compsanthroposwho was symbouleuting him about the metakinetics of a sphincterous omphale.

eactionary
    Naturally the bus was pretty well full and the conductor was surly. You
     will find the cause of these things in the 8-hour day and the nationalisation schemes.
     And then the French lack organisation and a sense of their civic duties otherwise it
     wouldn’t be necessary to distribute numbered tickets to keep some semblance of
     order among the people waiting to get on the bus—order is the word all right! That
     day there were at least ten of us waiting in the blazing sun, and when the bus did
     arrive there was only room for two, and I was the sixth. Luckily I said “On
     Government business” and showed a card with my photo anda
     tricolour band across it—that always impresses conductors—and I got on.
     Naturally I have nothing to do with the unspeakable republican government but all the
     same I wasn’t going to miss an important business luncheon for a vulgar question
     of numbers. On the platform we were packed together like sardines. Such disgusting
     promiscuity always causes me acute suffering. The only possible compensation is the
     occasional charming contact with the quivering hindquarters of a dainty little
     midinette. Ah youth, youth! But one shouldn’t let oneself get excited. That time I
     was surrounded entirely by men, one of whom was a sort of teddy boy whose neck was of
     inordinate length and who was wearing a felt hat with a kind of plait round it instead
     of a ribbon. They ought to send all creatures of that sort off to labour camps. To
     repair the war damage. That caused by the anglo-saxons, especially. In my day we were
     Young Royalists, not Rock ’n Rollers. At any rate this young object suddenly makes
     so bold as to start abusing an ex-service man, a real one,
