George Webbe Dasent, Popular Tales from the Norse — Tom Totherhouse (1912)
“ So they made merry, and crammed themselves with bannocks and butter, and had a drop of brandy into the bargain. "I'll go off to Tom Totherhouse with a snack—shan't I, mother?" said the lad. "He's had nothing between meals, I'll be bound." "Ah! do; there's a good fellow," said the Goody, who all at once got as mild as milk. As he went along the lad broke a bannock to bits, and dropped the crumbs here and there as he walked. But when he got to Tom Totherhouse he said,— "Now, just you take care, for our old cock has found out that you come too often to see our Goody. ”
