"Jane's hens are in good laying condition, and there are the cherries on the tree," said Miss Fleming tartly. She did not like Jane nor any other woman, but she usually fought for her sex against men in a mannish way for the pleasure of fighting for the weaker party. "Hens?
"But he isn't, you see: and oh, my dear, is it so wicked? you can't think how I wish he would never come never, never, never!" "Sophia!" "Even," went on Miss Sophia, nodding her head, "if I've eaten all these cherries under false pretences, and have to go to prison for it!"
"Cherries nice, cherries nice, nice, come choose, Fresh and fair ones, who'll refuse?" &c. The which he was ready to take his affidavit he had composed the day before yesterday. Then he sang an equally ORIGINAL heroic melody, of which the chorus was "Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the sea, For Britons never, never, never slaves shall be," &c.
