“Yeh, onny some bigger, ’cus a lamb wants more at one feedin’, you know.”

“Have you got a big bottle that we can use to nurse the lambs?” asked Natalie, quite out of breath when she reached the door.
“We need two bottles, Rachel!” added Janet.
“How big mus’ they be?” asked Rachel.
“Oh,—how big, Sam?”
“Big nuff to hold about a pint each, Aunt Rachel.”
“I got some catsup bottles what hol’ a little more’n a pint a piece, Sam,” said Rachel.
“Them will do, where are they?” returned Sam.
