Sorry, it has been a long busy day !

Along the edge of Georgeto-n runs a broad esplanade, bounded on one side by the sea and on the other by an area of trees and grass, interse-ted by numerous -anals. This -as a favourite haunt for toads and -ourting -ouples. These toads are a great putty~-olored beasts motled -ith -ho-olate blot-hes. They are attra-tive -reatures, -ith -ide mouth set in a perpetual grin, large, dark pop~eyes that are shot -ith silver and gold, and a portly and -ell~fed appearan-e. They are, as a rule, rather lethargi-, but, as -e dis-overed that night, they -ere -apable of an astonishing turn of speed.
These toads had hitherto led a tranquil life, meditating by day and singing part~songs by nitght, so they -ere ama-ed and affronted by the appearan-e in their midst of four people -ho -hased them vigorously -ith a tor-h. No less ama-ed and affronted -here the vast number of -ourting -ouples -ho littered the grass almost as thi-kly as the toads. The toads strongly ob-e-ted to the tor-h being flashed on them, on so did the -ourting -ouples. The toads did not like being -hased a-ross miles of grass, and the -urting -ouples -ere unanimous in their opinion of the four mania-s -ho leapt over their re-umbent bodies in pursuit of the toads. Ho-ever, in bet-een tripping over -ourting -ouples and apologi-ing
to them, shining the tor-h on them and hastly turnig it of again, -e managed to -at-h thirty~five toads. So -e returned home, hot and out of breath but in mu-h better frame of mind, leaving behind us a great many frightened toads and a number of indignant people of both se-es.

Randi got it!
Along the edge of Georgetown runs a broad esplanade, bounded on one side by the sea and on the other by an area of trees and grass,intersected by numerous canals. This was a favourite haunt for toads and courting couples.
These toads are a great putty~colored beasts motled with chocolate blotches. They are attractive creatures, with wide mouth set in a perpetual grin, large, dark pop~eyes that are shot with silver and gold, and a portly and well~fed appearance. They are, as a rule, rather lethargic, but, as we discovered that night, they were capable of an astonishing turn of speed.
These toads had hitherto led a tranquil life, meditating by day and singing part~songs by night, so they were amazed and affronted by the appearance in their midst of four people who chased them vigorously with a torch. No less amazed and affronted where the vast number of courting couples who littered the grass almost as thickly as the toads. The toads strongly objected to the torch being flashed on them, on so did the courting couples. The toads did not like being chased across miles of grass, and the curting couples were unanimous in their opinion of the four maniacs who leapt over their recumbent bodies in pursuit of the toads. However, in beween tripping over courting couples and apologizng to them, shining the torch on them and hastly turnig it of again, we managed to catch thirty~five toads. So we returned home, hot and out of breath but in much better frame of mind, leaving behind us a great many frightened toads and a number of indignant people of both sexes.
