Sometimes Thursday came back from the town peevish and angry at his lost labor, having found the bread too hard or too musty, and mutton unprocurable; as to the beef which came occasionally from Glasgow, it was usually tainted, except in winter-time, and veal was not to be had for love or money, except in a condition to make one fearful of a catastrophe.

Florence and I delight in him he comes again next week if possible but we cannot convey to him the unthinkableness of leaving...." I heard about this visit later from the general.
