Noonchine

The ordinary breakfast of farm-servants is bread and skimmed-milk, with the remainder of what bacon was left the day before: their lunch or noonchine, consists of bread and cheese, with the small beer they take in their kegs to the field.

“Yes---I left London this morning at eight o’clock, and the only ten minutes I have spent out of my chaise since that time, procured me a noonchine at Marlborough.”

Sit down, Mr. Felix, and take your bit of noonchine.
