consequence she was summoned to

dean in pleasant voice. this leg of
mutton is overdone; take it back and
do it less.''
Impossible. your reverence" ex-
claimed the cook.
WELL" replied her master. "suppos-
ing it had been underdone, you could
easily have done it more.'

a lesson to you. If you commit a
fault always take care that it is a
fault which will admit of remedy"
