the gentleman Quotes

“He said he loved eggs and ducklings; he should be proud to see a fine nestful in his wood-shed.”

″‘Give me the herbs for the omelette. Be sharp!’ He was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like that. She felt surprised, and uncomfortable.”

“And nothing more was ever seen of the foxy-whiskered gentleman.”

“Jemima thought him mighty handsome. She explained that she had not lost her way, but that she was trying to find a convenient dry nesting-place.”
