He says— " I recollect, and am not likely to forget, our first copy- line, which we wrote six times each Sunday for a while; From its continual repetition the words came to be a source of intense fun to us. But as our first copies were nearly filled with them, the time came when they were hateful to hear. They consisted of ' What is the chief end of man?' And the way we had a new line given us furnished some quiet enjoyment This is how it was : — My sister and I were set down one day in the mon...th of October over a tubful of potatoes to ' scrap,' preparatory for dinner, when strangers were expected.
