CHAPTER II
14/21

Then at dinner in the farm-house; sometimes a leg of mutton, sometimes a piece of ham and plum pudding.

Then work till five, then a _nunch_ and a quart of ale.

Nunch was cheese, 'twas skimmed cheese though.

Then work till sunset, then home and have supper and a pint of ale.

I never knew a man drunk in the harvest field in my life.
Could drink six quarts, and believe that a man might drink two gallons in a day.
