The boor is now rare in England, though there are specimens of him still to be seen in remote parts of the country. He is untravelled always, not apt to be found straying, or stirring from home. His covering is home-spun, his drink home-brewed, his meat home-fed, and himself home-bred. In general, he is a wonderfully silent animal. But there are talking ones; and their talk is of bullocks.

Enter a boiled turkey poult with delicate white sauce; a nice tongue, not too green nor too salt, and a small saddle of six-tooth mutton, home-bred, home-fed; after this a stewed pigeon, faced by greengage tart, and some yellow cream twenty-four hours old; item, an iced pudding. A little Stilton cheese brought up the rear with a nice salad.

On the side-table was a dish of hot kidneys and a magnificent red home-fed ham. But a greater treat far, as Mrs. Jogglebury thought, was in the guests set around.

But he's fat. They've got their Christmas ready, that they have. Lord! you should see the chitterlings, and the sausages hung up to and along the beams. That's a crown for any dwellin'! They runs 'em round the top of the room it's like a May-day wreath in old times. Home-fed hog! They've a treat in store, they have. And snap your fingers at the world for many a long day. And the hams!
