Window "Truth":—being an-hungered late this night, just before bedd-time, I to larder to forage for bread and cheese-Wherein I was interrupted by a loud nock on the street door. And who slid the nocker be but an air-raid warden to admonish me of a light showing without. Which I ed not believe till he took me out and pointed to it. And then I saw it came through the perforated zinc of the larder window by my having caponed the larder door with the kitchen light on. This, I confess, I had never thought of and means, I suppose, that we shall have to black this perforated window out against any such future contingency, however umwholesomely stuffy we make the larder thereby, which is a thing that did oilways gert upp my nose, but doubt a thumping fine slid gert upp it yet more.
