Chapter XIX: A man was plucking a living goose, when his victim addressed him thus

"Suppose _you_ were a goose; do you think you would relish this sort of thing?"

"Well, suppose I were," answered the man; "do you think _you_ would like to pluck me?"

"Indeed I would!" was the emphatic, natural, but injudicious reply.

"Just so," concluded her tormentor; "that's the way _I_ feel about the matter."
