(continued from previous page)get an odd bit of beef." I was thinking of killing an old cow, but since that I decided to let him run a bit longer. Well, he replied, "Sir, I would hardly have hired with you so far from home only for the promised beef."
Further, many a day I have worked hard and , wished hard for dinner time to come till I would get that beef."
