    the Gentleman that he had her learned to talk Latin. So the Gentleman went out to see. So he spoke to her and she answered her back and he thought she was talking Latin. And the Gentleman was well satisfied. So he turned round and payed Jack his money. He promised him so they all live happy together ever after. They put down the kettle and made tay (tea) if they dont live happy that we may.
