Shouldering his portmenteau, which, despite his debilitated condition, felt as light as the feathers at the poulterer's, he scrambled ecstatically up some slippery steps on to the stone platform, and had one foot on the soil of the Holy Land, when a Turkish official in a shabby black uniform stopped him. "Your passport," he said, in Arabic. Aaron could not understand. Somebody interpreted.
"Do you know the Poulterer's, in the next street but one, at the corner?" "I should hope I did." "An intelligent boy! A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they've sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there? Not the little prize Turkey, the big one?" "What, the one as big as me?" "What a delightful boy! It's a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck!" "It's hanging there now." "Is it?
If ever there was an iniquity on this earth it's a State Church, and all the argufying in the world won't put that out of me." It happened that Northcote was in the poulterer's shop, talking to the poulterer himself at this moment, and he heard the conclusion of this speech delivered with much unction and force.
"Do you know the Poulterer's in the next street but one, at the corner?" Scrooge inquired. "I should hope I did," replied the lad. "An intelligent boy!" said Scrooge. "A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they've sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there? Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?" "What! the one as big as me?" returned the boy. "What a delightful boy!" said Scrooge.

The children feared goose for their father, whose digestion was usually unequal to this particular bird. Like many fathers of families in the Five Towns, he had the habit of going forth on Saturday mornings to the butcher's or the poulterer's and buying Sunday's dinner. He was a fairly good judge of a joint, but Maggie considered herself to be his superior in this respect.
Passing through the poulterer's on his way to his room the poulterer and he divided the house between them, renting a room each he paused to talk with the group of women who were plucking the fowls, and told them glad tidings of great fowl-rearing farms in Palestine.
It was the best she could get at the poulterer's in the Faubourg Poissonniers; it weighed twelve and a half pounds on the scales at the charcoal-dealer's; they had burnt nearly half a bushel of charcoal in cooking it, and it had given three bowls full of drippings. Virginie interrupted her to boast of having seen it before it was cooked.
In summer the people all work on their thresholds, and in their windows, and as nearly out of doors as the narrowness of the streets will let them, and it is hard to pass through any part of the city without coming to a poulterer's shop, in the door of which inevitably sits a boy, tugging at the plumage of some wretched bird.
Joe Miller never made such a joke as sending it to Bob's will be!" The hand in which he wrote the address was not a steady one; but write it he did, somehow, and went down-stairs to open the street-door, ready for the coming of the poulterer's man.
