When I want to give them a treat, I cut them up some raw meat. And worms too! Wait, you'll see how they love them. She ran to the dungheap, and unhesitatingly picked up a worm she found there. The fowls darted at her hands; but to amuse herself with the sight of their greediness she held the worm high above them.
Thing's well done down it goes: you know that. You can't have a word over it eh? Thing's done fit to toss on a dungheap, aha! Then there's a cackle! My belief is, you do it on purpose. Can't be such rank idiots. You do it on purpose. All done for gossip! 'Oh, sir, no! The landlady half curtsied. 'Oh, ma'am, yes! The old gentleman bobbed his head. 'No, indeed, sir!

Stone Farm, like the poor of the parish, did not buy its herring until after the autumn, when it was as dry as sticks and cost almost nothing. At that time of year, herring was generally plentiful, and was sold for from twopence to twopence-halfpenny the fourscore as long as the demand continued.
