At the end of the summer solstice, the iceman, whom no one should accuse of disservice or cowardice, put up a notice at an advice in his office, put the effect that with ____ toward none he would give good advice to tall, without caprice or ____.
Accordingly, he supplied the politician with ____, the lawyer with practice, the doctor with ____, the judge with justice, the builder with a cornice and a ____, the gambler and his ____ in their den of vice with dice, the bridal party with bodice, the clergyman with a service, the cat with mice, the drinker with chalice, the geologist with ____, the woodman with a ____, the sailor with a splice, the dentist with a ____, the dressmaker with a cilice, and no one with the ____.
But in spite of all his efforts to supply ice to multiservice, some people objected so strongly to his overnice, that they applied to the police for ____ regarding a ____, by which they might either push him into a ____ or over a precipice!
Perhaps someone can help with this puzzle.
