Quote of the Week: Christmas Goose

"At last the dishes were set on and grace was said. It was succeeded by a breathless pause, as Mrs. Cratchit, looking slowly all along the carving-knife, prepared to plunge it in the [goose] breast; but when she did, and when the long expected gush of stuffing issued forth, one murmur of delight arose all round the board."


--Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
