"We farm, we study, we bake, we brew, and are as merry as grigs all day long. It's school-time now, and we must go; will you come?" said Sally, jumping up as if she liked it. "Our schools are not like yours; we only study two things, grain and yeast. I think you'll like it.
Even the rumor of Reform had not yet excited any millennial expectations in Frick, there being no definite promise in it, as of gratuitous grains to fatten Hiram Ford's pig, or of a publican at the "Weights and Scales" who would brew beer for nothing, or of an offer on the part of the three neighboring farmers to raise wages during winter.
We had a Wretched dinner of stringy mutton, boiled with vegetables, and a white cheese strong enough to raise the dead.

Squaw means woman in those parts, you know; and Mixture means what you've got afore you now. I knowed you couldn't stand regular grog, and that's why I cooked it up for you.
