Excerpt from The Lost Key
But the garden was not all. Adjoining it was a field, in which, in peace and plenty, lived Daisy and Cowslip, - two plump, happy-looking cows, who not only supplied the squire's family with cream and butter, but also every morning furnished nice cans of skim-milk for the breakfast of many a poor family living in the cottages around. By the side of the field were the kitchen-garden and the apple-orchard, where grew in abun dance apples of all sorts and sizes, from the small rosy-faced ones with which the squire would sometimes reward good children, to the large green codlings used for making the delicious pies which they always had for supper at the yearly school-feast, about which I must now tell you.
