to the task. Mustard and vinegar alone saved me
from loathing. Host and hostess were now on excel

cussed at large the merits of dun-fish, pickled fish,
pollock, hake, tusk, haddock, and salmon; also, lump,
halibut. mackerel, lobster, shad, and trout: but we in

as dun cod-fish, served up exactly like the one on which
we were then dining! By and by my friend brought

To tell the truth, f had no objection; for I thought it
likely that Ito was going to show me that he did dine
sometimes on other things but salt-fish. I expected a
sumptuous dinner, and was accordingly very punctual.
There were no frowns now; no gesture of vexation, no
perturbed visages; all seemed smiling, peaceful, hap,

countenances of my friends, which seemed to say; ' , Wes
