022.12 "that laurency night"

211.25 "a change of naves and joys of ills for Armoricus Tristram Amoor Saint Lawrence"

?312.18 "feared crimp or cramp of shore sharks, plotsome to getsome. It was whol niet godthaab of errol Loritz off his Cape of Good" (it was surely not a good hope of Earl Lawrence their telling told, but it was surely a bargain what he always allowed of the customers)? (Earl Lawrence, Saint Lawrence family, Earls of Howth)?
