'And I'm sure you didn't mean to cut up an important paper.
If they were to drag only you out of bed, it would be no matter. SET A TRAP FOR THEM! Yes, it's easy enough to say set a trap for 'em.

"Everything, tea and sugar and candles and shawls and gowns and cloaks and mouse-traps and letter-paper; and Mrs. Bawtrey buys poor Will's baskets, and sells them for a good deal more than she pays." "It seems a nice cottage, with a field and orchard at the back." "Yes. Mrs. Bawtrey pays L8 a year for it; but the shop can well afford it." Kenelm made no reply.
She had a large basin of bread-and-milk, and she divided this into two portions, and gave one to Flaps and kept the other for herself. And as she says she loves Flaps, I leave you to guess who got most bread-and-milk.
