shoat

We purchased a shoat from the matron of that domicile, who made us a stew that would have done credit to the Maypole Inn.

I see 'em when ma opened the door; and Marthy says one of 'em got currants in it, and there's a little shoat thar roasted whole.

Takes care of the cows and pigs, sleeps with 'em, or so handy by he could hear if a shoat had the teethache, or like that.

I wish it were honest American boiled fowl, with a delicate bit of shoat-pork alongside of it.
