18 FARMING IT 



"You haven't money enough to buy them, 

 sir," I replied with dignity, and they clumped 

 heavily down the stairs. 



That night the pigs were returned to the farmer 

 at the same price which I gave for them, although 

 they were nearly a third larger ; and so, although 

 my love for pigs was in a sense betrayed, 



" 'T were better to have loved and lost 

 Than never to have loved at all."
