THE BLAH STORY

up in a blah, was blah at a blah of the blah and blah up at blah, then, in the blah, she saw a blah who blah away through a blah in the blah blah, when blah had blah on blah, it had blah nine blah as she was blah the blah, but the blah still was not blah, blah went back to the main blah, blah there blah blah for a blah, and then blah round the blah in the blah in blah the blah blah, but despite seeming blah on the blah she was actually very blah; she had blah the blah she would blah to blah only to blah blah in some way that blah valued her blah and would blah the opportunity to blah with blah without blah, but if blah had thought blah could offer any blah blah she would not have blah, as it was only the blah that blah blah realise what blah that could blah to, blah was really able to blah on her own blah so blah if it was blah that blah might invite a blah guess into the blah with a blah blah, and ask blah from blah about blah, blah from the blah by no more than a blah, was it not blah or even very blah that there were also other blah she had blah to blah or that blah was even blah towards, and there was not always blah beside blah to blah blah just blah, just when blah would have to blah with all the blah she could blah, now a blah of doubts of a blah she had never blah known had blah themselves and blah her own blah, the blah she had been blah in blah out her blah; were they now blah to blah the blah too, now, at least, blah found blah quite blah to blah how she could have blah to blah to blah and invite blah into the blah, as blah in amazement blah her blah, and blah, as blah knew how to blah, not into the blah eyes, but at blah blah, blah the blah of her blah, but realizing that in blah this the blah had been blah at her not as a blah, it was the same thing blah and blah again, everyone blah blah, her blah, his blah, everyone thought blah to blah in the blah of blah heart, this blah aroused in blah a blah of angry blah, a blah she had rarely blah before, and they blah an idea of what blah is; they blah know that without blah love, for blah there blah neither happiness nor blah life at all, blah blah the smile blah at once from blah, when blah blah cruel, blah expression was blah upon blah with rapid, blah blah she blah her blah, revealing a blah, blah blah buttons, and a blah, and quickly blah out a blah old blah, again, just as at the first blah of blah of blah blah with her blah, blah, on reading the blah, was blah carried away by the natural blah in blah by blah own relation to the blah, now blah she blah her blah in her blah, she could not blah the blah, which she would blah likely blah at blah today or blah, and the blah itself, in blah, with the same blah and blah blah expression that blah face was blah at this blah would await the blah, after having blah into the blah and blah at that blah there blah across blah the thought of what blah had just blah to blah, and what blah had blah been blah in the blah, that it was blah not to blah blah, and blah knew that this blah she could blah tell blah, blah, for all blah liberal blah, was well blah that to blah blah was sure to be blah a blah blah, and so blah her best blah to this blah, but at that blah was not in a blah to blah all the blah of blah such a blah she had blah seen blah since that blah evening when blah met blah, not blah, that is, the blah when blah had blah a blah of blah on the blah she blah known at the blah of her heart that blah would see blah here today, but to blah his thoughts blah, she had blah to blah herself that she blah not know blah, now when blah heard that blah was here, blah was suddenly blah of such blah, and at the same blah of such blah, that blah breath blah her and she could blah blah what she wanted to blah as it was a very rainy and stormy blah when blah, in a blah temper at the blah of the day blah of blah, blah early at blah oclock in the blah so that blah could at least do some blah before blah blah would blah her as she blah blah half the blah studying a blah of blah so that blah would be somewhat blah and was blah tired; her blah was less blah to him than the blah where she had blah far too much blah blah of late, but blah resisted the blah and blah down to blah work, unfortunately, just then the blah came in and blah that the blah had blah her to blah whether the blah blah was already in blah; if she was, then would blah please be so blah as to blah to her blah the blah from blah was already blah tourist blah under her blah that she had blah for blah, and went through the blah blah office into that of the blah, she was blah she had blah into the blah so blah and was blah to be of blah immediately, nobody could blah have blah that of blah; the blah blah was, of course, still as blah as the blah of the blah, the blah had blah been asked to blah too but without blah, as blah
