SELECTED BITS.
Once in the New Cut I stopped before a dreadful-looking stali of meat. There was a platter of stuff called '• selected bits." These selected bits the butclier was offering to an old lady for threepence, but she insisted that this was too high. " Take 'em for tuppence, then," said the butcher. '' Best selected bits, a olatterful for tuppence. You can't do tetter nor that." " I don't know," said the old lady. "It seems rather high." " Will ye give a penny for 'em?" Still the old lady hesitated. "Here," said the butcher, "here, hang it, ma'am, I'll turn my back whila you pinch 'em."
