- (continued from previous page)Of the neighbours to tea and some of the hen. She left the man to keep house. While she was out he took a board off the press and he took the hen out and ate it and he left back the plate again. Then he nailed on the board. When his wife came in again with the neighbours she made the tea. She said to the man not a bite of it will you taste. He said “I am not very fond of hen’s flesh anyway”. When she went to the press for the plate of hen’s flesh she got nothing but a plate of bones.
