He was accused of having taken a vegetable, a cabbage or a turnip, from a field which lay invitingly open, and the punishment inflicted was a fine or a term of imprisonment.

What might seem quite possible to the eye, is often no use at all. I thought we’d better make sure.”,“You bet! But it will be pretty rough going. We’ll have to nurse it pretty carefully.
