It’th not of tern I geeet a chanthe to come here; yet now I have come, you both ignore me !” Daiyu burst out laughing: “Lisping doesn’t seem to make you afraid of talking! Listen to you: ‘Cout hin!’ ‘Couthin!’ presently, when you’re playing Racing Go, you’ll be al l ‘thicktheth and theventh.’” … “I shaoo never be a match for you as lo ng as I livve,” Xiangyun said to Diayu with a disarming smile. “All I can thay ith that I hope you marry a lithping huthband, tho that you have ‘ithe e-withee’ ‘ithee-withee’ in your earth every minute of the day. Ah, holy Name!
