After a few tumblers of Widow Stables' treacle-beer in the concoction of which she was the acknowledged mistress for miles around the schoolmaster would sometimes go the length of hinting that he could get the post-mistress dismissed any day.

McWhae, where you could get ginger-beer of her own making at a penny a bottle, better than that which they sold at the Muirtown Arms at sixpence; and treacle-beer also at a penny, but in this case the bottle was double the size and was enough for two fellows; and halfpenny rolls, if you were fiercely hungry and could not get home to dinner, so tough that only a boy's teeth could tear them to pieces; and tarts, so full that it required long skill to secure every drop of the jam, and your fingers were well worth licking afterwards; and peppermint balls of black and white, one of which would keep your mouth sweet for an hour of Latin that is, if you only sucked gently and didn't crunch.
