egger

Mrs. Egger and her comely young barefooted daughter had still the milking to attend to, and supper must wait for the other chores.

But nothing of this sort occurs to the egger, who gathers and gathers until he has swept the rock bare.

Mr. Egger was far from being inhospitable, but was in no hurry, and never had been in a hurry.
