Limburger Cheese

Ma sent me to pay a bill at the grocers last Saturday. The boss behind the counter made me a present of something wrapped In a piece of silver paper, which he told me was a piece of Limburger cheese. When I got outside the shop I opened the paper, and when [ smelt what was inside I felt tired. I took It home and put It in the coal shed. In the morning I went to it again. It was still there. Nobody had taken it. I wondered what I could do with it. Father and mother were getting ready to go to church. 1 put a piece in the back pocket of father's pants, and another piece in the lining of ma's muff. I walked behind when we started for church. It was beginning to get warm. When we got in church, father looked anxious and mother looked as if something had happened. After the first hymn, mother told father not to sing again, but to keep his mouth shut, and breathe through his nose. After the prayer, prespiration stood on father's face, and the people in the next pew to ours got up and went out. After the next hymn father whispered to mother that he thought she had better go out and air herself. After the second lesson, some of the church wardens came round to see if there were any stray rats in the church.

Some more people near our pew got up and went out, putting their handkerchiefs to their noses as they went. The parson said they had better close the service, and hold a meeting Dutside to discuss the sanitary condition of the church. Father told mother they had better go home one at a time. Mother told father to go the nearest way home and disinfect himself before she came. When they got home, they both went into the front room, but did not speak for some time-Mother spoke first, and told father to put the cat out of the room, as she thought it was going to be sick. It was sick before father could get it out. Mother then turned round, and noticed that the canary was dead. Mother told father not to sit so near to the fire, as it made matters worse. Father told mother to go and smother herself. Mother said she thought she was smothered already. Just then the servant came in. and asked if she should open the windows, as the room felt very close. Father went upstairs and changed his clothes, and had a hot bath. Mother took father's clothes and offered them to a tramp, who said, "Thanks, kind lady, they are a bit too high for me." Mother threw them over the back fence Into the canal. Father was summoned afterwards for poisoning the fish. Mother went to bed.

Father asked her if she had been fumigated. Just then father had a note sent him. Father came to wish me "Good Night" at 10 o'clock In the evening, with a note In one hand and a razor strop in the other. I got under the bed. The people next door thought we were beating carpets in the house. I cannot sit down comfortably yet. I have given my little sister what 1 had left of that Limburger cheese. I thought it a pity to waste it.
