    (continued from previous page)
    give us a treat. The man of the house is a decent man. He won't refuse us if he can. Up with the kettle and down with the pan. Give us our answer and let us begone. We followed the wren from rock to rock. We followed him into a public shop. We dipped his head in a barrell of beer. And we wish you all a happy New Year.
    People have piseoga about Christmas. They say if the man of the house goes out on Christmas night there will be no luck on the house for the year.
