Excerpt from The Old English Gentleman, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Fields and the Woods
"Methinks, a father
Is, at the nuptial of his son, a guest
That best becomes the table - ."
A thin crust of snow covered the ground, just permitting the points of the grass to peep above its surface, as the old whipper-in strode from his cottage door towards the Hall. A keen wind nipped his nose, and benumbed his fingers, each step crisping under his tread, as he bustled along.
