Rather The Worst Half
ON one occasion a lad, while at home for the holidays, complained to his
mother that a schoolfellow who slept with him took up half the bed. And
why not? said the mother; he's entitled to half, isn't he!--Yes,
mother, rejoined her son; but how would you like to have him take out
all the soft for his half? He will have his half out of the middle,
and I have to sleep both sides of him!
