Having said all this without a break, Jenkins feels he has outdone himself, and retires on his laurels. "Brown night retires; young day pours in apace, In the distance a woman is bending over a keeler making up a huge mass of butter into rolls, nicely squared and smoothed, to make them look their best and handsomest to-morrow..
