Is there something almost Kipling to the rhythm of this beautiful line?
[02.063] I’ll cook beautifully for you, a perfectly beautiful breakfast for you, if only you won’t have me for supper.”
Something like “Up jumped Nqua from his seat on the salt-flat and shouted “Go away!”
- 01.142 and cook everybody else’s wretched breakfast.
- 02.057 “And can yer cook ’em?” said Tom.
- 02.063 “And please don’t cook me,
- 02.063 I am a good cook myself,
- 02.063 and cook better than I cook,
- 02.063 and cook better than I cook,
- 02.063 I’ll cook beautifully for you,
- 03.024 “I can smell the wood-fires for the cooking.”
- 06.099 and the figures of the dwarves round it cooking
- 06.099 being used to having it delivered by the butcher all ready to cook.
- 08.092 and cooking,
