Laurence Sterne was an Irishman who spent the greater part of his life as a clergyman in
England.The following extract is about a journey of his through France. One evening, being
away from any town, he was glad to see a house, a short distance from the road.
It was a little farmhouse surrounded with a vineyard and a cornfield. It was about eight in
the evening when I got to the house. The family consisted of an old gray-headed man and his
wife with five or six sons and sons-in-law, and their several wives, and a group of cheerful
children. They were all sitting together to their evening meal.
The old man rose up to meet me, and with a respecful cordiality invited me to sit down at
the table. So I sat down at once like a son of the family. And to invest myself in the
character of a son as quickly as I could, I instantly borrowed the old man’s knife, and, taking
a loaf, cut myself a heavy portion. And, as I did so, I saw a testimony in every eye, not only
of an honest welcome, but of a welcome mixed with thanks that I had not seemed to doubt it.
When supper was over, the old man gave a knock on the table with the handle of his knife,
to bid them prepare for the dance. The moment the signal was given, the women and girls
ran into a back apartment to tie up their hair; and the young men to the door to wash their
faces and change their wooden shoes. And in three minutes every soul was ready upon a
little esplanade before the house to begin. The old man told me that all his life long he had
made it a rule, after supper was over, to call out his family to dance and rejoice, believing,
he said, that a cheerful and contented mind was the best source of thanks to heaven that an
illiterate peasant could pay.
