Only Not In Bunches.

A good story of a specimen of the ordinary theatrical landlady is told by J. L. Shfite. One Saturday evening he and a fellow actor purchased a pound of sausages for their Sunday's breakfast. There were eight to the pound, but when they arrived at the table there were only five. Thereupon the landlady was called in to account for the missing links. "Madam,’’ said Mr. Shine severely, “I gave you eight sausages last night; here are only five. What has become of the other three?” The lady of the house smiled an innocent smile, mingled with pity, and Teplied: "Well, you sefe, sir, sausages always do shrink in cooking.” Which information had to suffice.
