The Attache

CHAPTER VII
18/30

Let's go round the room and look.

Lawful heart! what a big "Brown ox" that is.

Old "Star and Garters;" father fatted him.

He was a prize ox; he eat a thousand bushel of turnips, a thousand pound of oil cake, a thousand of hay, and a thousand weight of mangel wurzel, and took a thousand days to fat, and weighed ever so many thousands too.

I don't believe it, but I don't say so, out of manners, for I'll take my oath he was fatted on porter, because he looks exactly like the footman on all fours.
