It
seemed
difficult
to
believe
that
the
potato-scrapings
in
which
Harris
and
I
stood
,
half
smothered
,
could
have
come
off
four
potatoes
.
It
shows
you
what
can
be
done
with
economy
and
care
.
George
said
it
was
absurd
to
have
only
four
potatoes
in
an
Irish
stew
,
so
we
washed
half-a-dozen
or
so
more
,
and
put
them
in
without
peeling
.
We
also
put
in
a
cabbage
and
about
half
a
peck
of
peas
.
George
stirred
it
all
up
,
and
then
he
said
that
there
seemed
to
be
a
lot
of
room
to
spare
,
so
we
overhauled
both
the
hampers
,
and
picked
out
all
the
odds
and
ends
and
the
remnants
,
and
added
them
to
the
stew
.
There
were
half
a
pork
pie
and
a
bit
of
cold
boiled
bacon
left
,
and
we
put
them
in
.
Then
George
found
half
a
tin
of
potted
salmon
,
and
he
emptied
that
into
the
pot
.
He
said
that
was
the
advantage
of
Irish
stew
:
you
got
rid
of
such
a
lot
of
things
.
I
fished
out
a
couple
of
eggs
that
had
got
cracked
,
and
put
those
in
.
George
said
they
would
thicken
the
gravy
.
I
forget
the
other
ingredients
,
but
I
know
nothing
was
wasted
;
and
I
remember
that
,
towards
the
end
,
Montmorency
,
who
had
evinced
great
interest
in
the
proceedings
throughout
,
strolled
away
with
an
earnest
and
thoughtful
air
,
reappearing
,
a
few
minutes
afterwards
,
with
a
dead
water-rat
in
his
mouth
,
which
he
evidently
wished
to
present
as
his
contribution
to
the
dinner
;
whether
in
a
sarcastic
spirit
,
or
with
a
genuine
desire
to
assist
,
I
can
not
say
.
We
had
a
discussion
as
to
whether
the
rat
should
go
in
or
not
.
Harris
said
that
he
thought
it
would
be
all
right
,
mixed
up
with
the
other
things
,
and
that
every
little
helped
;
but
George
stood
up
for
precedent
.
He
said
he
had
never
heard
of
water-rats
in
Irish
stew
,
and
he
would
rather
be
on
the
safe
side
,
and
not
try
experiments
.
Harris
said
:
"
If
you
never
try
a
new
thing
,
how
can
you
tell
what
it
's
like
?
It
's
men
such
as
you
that
hamper
the
world
's
progress
.
Think
of
the
man
who
first
tried
German
sausage
!
"
It
was
a
great
success
,
that
Irish
stew
.
I
do
n't
think
I
ever
enjoyed
a
meal
more
.
There
was
something
so
fresh
and
piquant
about
it
.
One
's
palate
gets
so
tired
of
the
old
hackneyed
things
:
here
was
a
dish
with
a
new
flavour
,
with
a
taste
like
nothing
else
on
earth
.
And
it
was
nourishing
,
too
.
As
George
said
,
there
was
good
stuff
in
it
.
The
peas
and
potatoes
might
have
been
a
bit
softer
,
but
we
all
had
good
teeth
,
so
that
did
not
matter
much
:
and
as
for
the
gravy
,
it
was
a
poem
--
a
little
too
rich
,
perhaps
,
for
a
weak
stomach
,
but
nutritious
.
