Oysters — Part 1

"Hech, sirs! but the month o' September's the month after my ain heart--and worth ony ither two in the year--comin' upon you, as it does, after May, June, July and August, wi' its R and its Eisters--ilka shell as wide's my loof--ilka fish like a shot-star--and the tottle o the whole swimmin' in its ain sawt-sea liccor."--Noctes Ambrosianoe.
