Gwydn ow bes! Tho vy rych. My a drouvyas mòna nag ew ragwelys et ow acont kesres. Na wrewgh shabbya chei a'n tollyow! Whath ma leverva venthigya en neb le gen ow levrow - po martesen moy es onen.

Saw lowen o vy. En neb le eth flogh warn ügens a redyas ow levrow.

What bliss! I am rich. I found unexpected money in my current account. Don't inform the tax office! There's still a borrowing library somewhere with my books - or maybe more than one. They lend my books to the public. I earned about eleven pence for each loan. How much was my payment? £3.30p. It is not enough to buy a Spanish edition for my collection. But I am happy. Somewhere twenty-eight children read my books.

Piw o an persons ma? There are many proverbs in my little book. I can't understand all of them! I could translate some sayings word for word, but they are still nonsense for me. (And I can't find a translation for some words.) Some mention names of women or men (unknown to me). Who were these people? "All abroad, like Mary Miles." "Oll a-les, pecar'a Mary Miles." "All on one side, like Smoothy's wedding." "Oll war ü dn trenewen, pecar'a demedhyans Smoothy." "Always head and chief, like Jimmy Eellis 'mong the cats."

Or perhaps I ought to write 'my world is blue'! I have two books with blue covers and lots of blue-wrapped chocolate. I shall read the books and eat the chocolate with great pleasure. The books are both written by women, one in 1811 and the other in 2023. There are troubled young people in them. Will there be happy endings?
