Oh, a wonderful pudding! Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it
as the greatest success achieved by Mrs Cratchit since their marriage. Mrs
Cratchit said that now the weight was off her mind, she would confess she had
had her doubts about the quantity of flour. Everybody had something to say about
it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small pudding for a large family.
It would have been flat heresy to do so. Any Cratchit would have blushed to hint
at such a thing.
