In due time, the two reports were sent in, and I had an opportunity of understanding at last, what "eating little and often" really meant, in the case of my wife's monthly nurse. Except in one particular, to be hereafter adverted to, both statements agreed exactly. Here is the List, accompanied by a correct time-table, of Mrs. Bullwinkle's meals, beginning with the morning of Monday and ending with the morning of Tuesday. I certify, on my honour as a British husband and housekeeper, that the copy is correctly taken from my wife's entries in my pocket-book, checked impartially by the cook's slate:[E] A.M. 7. Breakfast.--Tea, Toast, Half-quartern Loaf, Butter, Eggs, Bacon. 9.30. First Morning Snack.--A glass of pale Sherry, and a plate of Mixed Biscuits. 11. Second Morning Snack.--A Basin of Beef Tea, and a tumbler of Brandy and Water. P.M. 12.45. Dinner.--A Roast Loin of Mutton and Mashed Potatoes. With Dinner, Ale, spiced and warmed. After Dinner, a tumbler of Hot Gin and Water. P.M. 3. Afternoon Snack.--A glass of pale Sherry, and a plate of Mixed Biscuits. 4.30. Tea and Muffins. 7. Evening Snack.--Stewed Cheese, Toast, and a tumbler of Brandy and Water. 9. Supper.--Nice juicy Steak, and two glasses of Beer. Second Course.--Stewed Cheese, and a tumbler of Gin and Water. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (Not vouched for by the cook's slate.)--During the night of Monday Mrs. Bullwinkle partook, at intervals, of Caudle. At 4.30 A.M., on the morning of Tuesday, my wife was awakened by hearing the nurse walking up and down the room, and sighing bitterly. The following conversation then took place between them: _My Wife._--Are you ill? _Mrs. Bullwinkle._--No. Hungry.
