"DINNER TIME;
OR,
HOW TO COMFORT THE INWARD MAN."
Appetite comes with eating, says Angeston.—Rabelais, bk. 1., ch. v.
Husband: Now then, Old Gal; cook us about another pound and a half of our home made bacon, and, then I do think I shall 'ave done for this once.
Wife: Yes! Tom, but recollect that Parson said on Sunday last, that poor folks, since the 'provements of cookery eat about twice as much as nature requires.
Husband: Well! then we can't do no better than practice what Parson preaches about, can we?
