Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


She saw me looking at it, and she said, "You could drink without
hurt all the strong beer that's brewed there now, boy."


"I should think I could, miss," said I, in a shy way.


"Better not try to brew beer there now, or it would turn out sour,
boy; don't you think so?"


"It looks like it, miss."


"Not that anybody means to try," she added, "for that's all done
with, and the place will stand as idle as it is, till it falls. As
to strong beer, there's enough of it in the cellars already, to
drown the Manor House."
