Preparations usually began the night before with a raid on a hen roost, for "biled chickun" formed the piece de resistance of the dinner. The table, enlarged by boards, filled the sitting room. Extra seats were made out of planks placed on chairs, and dishes were borrowed of neighbors who came for such aid, in their turn.

"Move along, Shep! I want to be next to the kitchen door! I won't get nothin' with you on that side o' me." "Oh, that's too thin! I see what you're-" "No, I won't need any sugar, if you just smile into it."
