The ultimate destiny of a goose: Thursday's food quotation
The goose we retained until this morning, when there were signs that, in spite of the slight frost, it would be well that it should be eaten without delay. Its finder has carried it off therefore to fulfil the ultimate destiny of a goose.
1891 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The blue carbuncle'
