"The population of Lonesome Water - some forescore families in all -… acknowledged one sole fly in the oinment of its self-satisfaction. Slowly, reluctantly, it had been brought to confess that the breed of its pigs was not the best on earth. They were small, wiry pigs, over-leisurely of growth, great feeders, yet hard to fatten; and in the end they brought but an inferior price in the far-off market town by the sea, to which their frozen, stiff-legged arses were hauled on sleds over the winter's snow" - from "The Black Board of Lonesome Water".
