Laurence Sterne was an Irishman who spent the greater part of his life as a clergyman in
England.The following extract is about a journey of his through France One evening, being away from any town, he was glad to see a house, a short distance from the road
It was a little farmhouse surrounded with a vineyard and a cornfield It was about eight
in the evening when I got to the house The family consisted of an old gray-headed man and his wife with five or six sons and sons-in-law, and their several wives, and a group of cheerful children They were all sitting together to their evening meal
The old man rose up to meet me, and with a respecful cordiality invited me to sit down at the table So I sat down at once like a son of the family And to invest myself in the
