It thus became necessary to resort more generally to farming, especially to raising large fields of corn, whose golden ears could easily be converted into pork and into bread. With these two articles of food, cornbread and bacon, life could be hilarious on the frontier. Keenness of appetite supplied the want of all other delicacies.
There was something about the way she said it that made Abe decide to come back and sit down. He managed somehow to eat the rest of his cornbread.
