' - "Fndercided? I told- jo'ii wiiat I wanted." ,'AVell, I mean you didn't decide as I did. So J bought a goose." "Why, so have I! I told you I'd like a. goose." "Well, now we are agreed; for once', anyhow." *- "Yes, and I suppose we'll have cold goose and stew'for the next fortnight." They relapsed into their uual silence.
