Excerpt from A Miscellany of Men
After a few sentences exchanged at long intervals in the manner of rustic courtesy, I inquired casually what was the name of the town. The old lady answered that its name was Stilton, and composedly continued her needlework. But I had paused with my mug in air, and was gazing at her with a suddenly arrested concern. I suppose, I said, that it has nothing to do with the cheese of that name? Oh yes, She answered, with a staggering indifference, they used to make it here.
