midst of their
profuseness: but then it is very ill placed, for it is in crumbs, bones,
and crusts. They do not so much as keep any dogs, cats, hawks, or
anything that eats flesh. If any person suffer meat to stink, he is

their cheese is kept till it is overrun with little animals, which they
devour with mustard and sugar. This is an odd sort of custom, derived
from the Dutch.

digestion, and generally overflow at the beginning of January, and
towards the end of February, and do mischief to the neighbouring
country.

CHAPTER VII.

Islands, and the Frugonians.
