returned this eve.  Allokee says he saw [[strikethrough]] 10 [[/strikethrough]] 9.  Koo-jes-se saw none, Koo-per-neu-ung saw several & pulled trigger but the cap only snapped.
Last night my feet were very cold.  Allokee & Koo-mung were in their Took-too bed, heads next or near my feet.  I made it my way to straighten down in such a way that it brought my feet direct upon their [[underlined]] hot heads! [[/underlined]] - one foot on Koo-mung's the other on old Allokee's head.  I may add my feet were no longer cold or wet.  If anything to complain of, feet were too hot, but I had a remedy for this for when so, all I had to do was to give crooks to my legs thus withdrawing feet.
Feeling too chilly & no means of getting warm this eve, I got out of Took-too bed went to the ledges about here & got warm by running about.  Nothing like exercise at the right time & under proper circumstances.  The only good I got of this was a warm body - for a short time.
