...EGGSELLENT FABLE FOR EDITORS.A Sporting Hen once made a Bet with another female Rooster that on Every Consecutive Day in three consecutive months (Sundays excepted, - for though of a Sportive Habit she did not go fast on Sundays, which Every one knows is a Feast-Day) - She would lay a successive and successful Egg, making eggsactly ninety-one in All. A critical Weasel, who liked Dropped Eggs on Toast, determined to investeggate the Performance.

I can sit here all day wrapped in that absolute quiet which is so essential to the production of the best lies. But I have society - plenty of it - when I feel sociable.
