The joke [[strikethrough]] Barkark[[/strikethrough]] "Bark-Pe-Kark" was playing bespoke too much of the game many men play upon their fellow beings, [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]]^[[insertion]] that I should [[/insertion]] check his dog-ship before I studied [[underlined]] his principles![[/underlined]] Each dog thankfully took his Capelin as [[strikethrough]] I came [[/strikethrough]] his turn came.

Please ^[[insertion]] Sir [[/insertion]] give me my share Capelins!!  I went the rounds three times more - BarpeKark kept his position & shared the same as the others with the exception I selected the largest & [[underlined]] fattest[[/underlined]] Capelins for him as [[underlined]] he was the prodigal (?)[[/underlined]] the [[underlined]] repentant Dog!
