"'How are you, Mr. McFadden? I said. "'Oh, Mr. Ward! I am miserable miserable! The wrongs we Irishmen suffers! Oh, Ireland! Will a troo history of your sufferins ever be written?
Oysters will be an improvement, with or without anchovies; add some crumbs, and an egg to bind. Add an onion or shalot, chopped as fine as possible, a little grated nutmeg, pepper and salt.

They're not brought to me." "Oh, Kate!" "Nonsense, aunt; I won't have you say so; before Jeannette, too." "I think it's for both, ma'am; I do indeed. And there certainly ain't any cream to be bought like it in Norwich: nor yet eggs." "I wonder what there is in the basket." And the widow lifted up the corner of the cloth. "I declare if there isn't a turkey poult already." "My!" said Jeannette.
"A turkey poult! Why, that's worth ten and sixpence in the market if it's worth a penny." "It's out of the question that I should take upon myself to say anything to him about it," said Kate.

As they passed the lodge they saw Pipelet, who, with his arms hanging down, advanced toward them from the bottom of the alley.
The basket and cloth were there, in the sitting-room, and on the table were laid out the rich things which it had contained; the turkey poult first, on a dish provided in the lodging-house, then a dozen fresh eggs in a soup plate, then the cream in a little tin can, which, for the last fortnight, had passed regularly between Oileymead and the house in the Close, and as to which Mr Cheesacre was very pointed in his inquiries with Jeannette.

'He's a great lumberin' lad, buttons his great stomach into a Newmarket cutaway, and carries a betting-book in his breast pocket. 'Oh, he's a bettor, is he! exclaimed Sponge, brightening up. 'He's a raw poult of a chap, replied Jack; 'just ready for anything in a small way, at least a chap that's always offering two to one in half-crowns.
