A piece of bacon with cabbage, and a pigeon-pie, adorned the sides of the table. The cutlets were handed round; and for some time conversation gave way to the more necessary occupation of eating. Even Bret and Leslie left off billing and cooing; the grandson of the baronet, forgetful of his family's misfortunes on the turf, dug vigorously into the pigeon-pie and liberally distributed it.
Now I am sure you can eat another breakfast? You couldn't have eaten much so early, even if they had anything at that place to gi'e thee, which they hadn't; so come to my house and we will have a solid, staunch tuck-in, and settle terms in black-and-white if you like; though my word's my bond.

It's mean of us to be skulking about here, as if we were a couple of low thieves waiting to trap some of those birds for a pigeon-pie. Come away, you've seen her; that's enough." Errington did not move. Holding back a branch of pine, he watched the movements of the girl at her wheel with absorbed fascination.
The rest distributed among them a couple of large heavy axes, a small coil of rope, some bread, a cake, tin plates and pannikins, knives and forks, and a fine pigeon-pie.

'How dear Emily is flirting with the strange gentleman, whispered the spinster aunt, with true spinster-aunt-like envy, to her brother, Mr. Wardle. 'Oh! I don't know, said the jolly old gentleman; 'all very natural, I dare say nothing unusual. Mr. Pickwick, some wine, Sir? Mr. Pickwick, who had been deeply investigating the interior of the pigeon-pie, readily assented.
