Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal.

The same goes for the sausage. I buy it freshly ground and seasoned—but with absolutely no unwanted preservatives added—from a local butcher shop, and freeze it (three-quarters of a pound per container) in pint cartons.
