[Original]
‘On Sunday, as sure as sure, you shall have your fill of goose; I have to send some one to Hergnies, to my cousin’s, to-morrow. You shall start, at peep of day, and bring me a good fat goose. We’ll dine off him when we come back from the fair at the next town. Does that suit you, my son?’
‘Mother, it’s just the thing for me.’
‘Then come to supper.’
And to supper went Johnny Nut, with such an appetite that he scarcely had time to say grace.
