The examination commenced, and was carried on in a manner calculated to shock the feelings of any one not devoid of the milk of human kindness.
Spare ribs and backbone, jowl and feet, souse and sausage, liver and chitterlings greased every mouth on the plantation; and the crackling-bread, made of corn meal mixed with the crisp tidbits left from the trying of the lard, carried fullness to repletion.
