'Oh, oh! hutetu! it is so bitter cold', said she, and shivered and shook, and made wry faces. 'Hutetu! it is so cold, a poor wretch may easily freeze to death'; and with that she fell to shivering and shaking again.
'Hutetu! it is so devilish cold', said one, and beat his arms crosswise. 'That it is', said another; 'I freeze so, that my teeth chatter. 'If one only had a quid to chew', said a third. Well! there was one who had an ounce or two; so they shared it between them, though it wasn't much, after all, that each got; and so they chewed and spat, and spat and chewed.
