trencherman ("a hearty trencherman, and particularly fond of his five o'clock couple of cups and bite of muffin" (P.G. Wodehouse) – завзятый чревоугодник • After a successful foray they decided to have a feast, which with killing and eating lasted over a week. The bones and refuse of their feast was great, and the place so filthy, that Nab from the opposite hillside called it Glutton.
Thirkil, a stout trencherman, over-gorged himself, was sick and died. The gang was delayed some time in making a barrow over his grave; it is amongst the hills, and is now called Thirkelow.  wordpress.com ART Vancouver) |
