Ah was poor, o’ course. Fact is, Ah was taymted to hold midweek services to keep them books balanced! But verra seldom did Ah yield to that taym-tation. Once or twice a month, yup. Ever’ week, nope. An Ah did it ays a public service.

Story goes that the so-called “converts” to muh cause made periodic attempts to nominate muhself fer sainthood. Ah mus point out that they never suck-ceeded. One excuse fer overlookin’ muh good works was that Ah was unda-qualyfied. By this Ah mean Ah was not a Cathlick. Ah considud joinin’ that de-nomination but then Ah foun out that many Cathlicks go to their masses on Sunday, which was muh work day. So Ah dee-sisted, in deference to their piety and the good works they oc-casionalluh per-formed. Ah knew Latin—thayt was not the problem, as muh opponence  ha’ taken t’sayin’ in their slan-erous, snake-oil ways. Ah also knew logic.

​“Err-go”
 is a Laytin wood. Ah cane use it in yer avage ordinaruh senence withou screwin’ up. Therefoe, I know Laytin. Also, French. Bone newee.
