Call this hot? I beg your pardon. Hot! -- you don't know what it means. / (What's that, waiter? lamb or mutton! Thank you -- mine is beef and greens. / Bread and butter while I'm waiting. Milk? Oh, yes -- a bucketful.) / I'm just in from west the Darling, ‘picking-up' and ‘rolling wool.'
Mutton stewed or chops for breakfast, dry and tasteless, boiled in fat; / Bread or brownie, tea or coffee -- two hours' graft in front of that; / Legs of mutton boiled for dinner -- mutton greasy-warm for tea -- / Mutton curried (gave my order, beef and plenty greens for me.)
