Part 149 (1/2)

An old Epicure, walking one fine morning, in the meadows on the banks of a river, exclaimed with rapture at the sight of a lamb that was frisking about ”pretty innocent creature, how deliciously thou wouldst eat with carrots or cauliflowers.”

Sir John Salter, who died in 1605, and was a generous benefactor to the wors.h.i.+pful company of Salters, ordered, in his last will and testament, the beadles and servants of the company, to go to the church of St.

Magnus, the first week of every October, and knock upon his grave stone, with sticks and staves three times each person, and say, ”How do you do brother Salter? I hope you are well.”
