Excerpt from The Schoolmaster's Trunk: Containing Papers on Home-Life in Tweenit

First, my hostess, Mrs. Fennel, could not leave to take a ride with me a few mornings ago, because "we are entirely out of - pies." Mrs. Fennel, poor woman, is far from well, and what with husband, grown-up boys, and two small children, not to mention myself as boarder, she has a large family to cook for, and only her daughter Martha to help do the work. That breezy morning-ride would have raised her spirits, it would have put new life into her: but - pies. (This is one time.)
