George Kettle tried to speak, but couldn't. All 'e could do was to point with 'is finger at Bob Pretty's kitchen and Bob Pretty's kitchen was for all the world like a pork-butcher's shop.
The linen was hanging out to dry on a cord before the door shirts and chemises, napkins, dish-cloths, aprons, and sheets, while a row of socks, hanging from strings one above the other, filled up an entire window, like sausages exposed for sale in front of a pork-butcher's shop. The baron announced his arrival.
"Has one ever sees such a person, except in a pork-butcher's shop!" "I have never been in one," said Hector, agreeably, a dangerous flash in his eyes; "but I hear things are too wonderfully managed at Harrowfield House though I had no idea you did the shopping yourself, dear Lady Harrowfield."
