Supposing it to be very cheap, and that she could get a quarter of a pound for "next to nothing," how useful a present might be made for "Mother" in the shape of an emery pincushion, to counteract the evil effects of the pig-meal ones! It would be a novelty even to Darling, especially if hers were made by glueing a tiny bag of emery into the mouth of a "boiled fowl cowry."
There was no blinking the fact that "Mother" had been provided with pincushions to repletion. And most of these made the needles rusty, from being stuffed with damp pig-meal, when the pigs and the pincushions were both being fattened for Christmas. Madam Liberality sat with her little pale face on her hand and her slate before her, making her calculations. She wondered what emery-powder cost.
The wheelbarrow was afterwards found in Miss Betty's farmyard, quite empty. But luck had come to Lingborough. There had not been such crops for twice seven years past. The lay-away hens' eggs were brought regularly to the kitchen. The ducklings were not eaten by rats. No fowls were stolen. The tub of pig-meal lasted three times as long as usual.
