nutritivo

EN I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, laborers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend or his own family to dine with him.
GL Calculei que aleita-lo neno dun mendigo (na lista inclúo tódolos aldeáns, labregos e catro quintos dos granxeiros) custaba dous xilíns máis ou menos por ano, farrapos incluídos, e creo que ningún cabaleiro sería reticente a dar dez xilíns polo cadáver dun bo neno repoludo que, como xa dixen, dará para catro pratos de excelente carne nutritiva cando veña a comer só un amigo ou a súa familia.
