| Koduteel ütles, et ta loodab, et inimesed märkasid teda kirikus, kuna ta on sant. See võiks neile jõulupäeval meenutada, kes tõstis sandid jalule ja tegi pimedatest nägijad. | He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people sawed him in church, because he was a cripple and it might make pleasant for them to remember it upon Christmas Day who made lame beggars walk and blind men see. |
