After Mr. Wopsle had said grace, my sister said to me, "Do you hear that? Be grateful." "Especially," said Mr. Pumblechook, "to them which brought you up by hand." Mrs. Hubble asked, "Why is it that the young are never grateful?" which Mr. Hubble solved by answering, "Naturally wicious." Joe spooned into my plate, at this point, about half a pint of gravy.
