"You who can get skim-milk, as all our workmen can, have a great advantage.
I only wish that the thing I am to construct up there may turn out as good a statue as this savory cylinder now fast disappearing was a superior and admirable sausage." "Have another?" said Doris. "No mother; and you must not bring the cabbage either.
He had lived there many years, and everybody knew him, but nobody liked him, a cunning, foxy, grabbing old rascal; unsocial, suspicious, unutterably mean.

The father of a family begins the practical education of his son by showing him wheat which has not taken the form of a loaf, and cabbage "in its wild state." Heaven only knows the encounters, the discoveries, the adventures that are met with!
At last the Cabbage Patch understood what was going on. The roof rang with applause. Even Mr. Rothchild held aside his strings of pop-corn to let Marguerite pass out. "S' more! S' more!" was the cry. "Sing it ag'in!" Jake stepped before the curtain. "If our friends is willin'," he said, "we'll repeat over the last ak." Again Lovey Mary scored a triumph.
