“…one of me pigs going bezique.”
“Bezique?”
“Aye, ah gave him a dose of worm medicine and he started jumpin’ about and rollin’ on his back. I tell you he’s going proper bezique.”
-James Herriot, The Best of James Herriot: The Complete Edition Updated and Expanded (1998), p. 162

I love James Herriot’s tales. I’m going to have to break out one of his books and reread it.
Great quote!
hehe bezique

Genius! I finally got round to reading your effort ~ I was on my way out last night and couldn’t return your courtesy. This drew ‘a right dirty ol’ bugger of a laff’ from me. I applaud your choice and thanks for the link to that great short film. I believe you may have psychic powers.
I like the tune too.
Oh. My. Gosh. I love this.
Love James Herriot! And, that is a great passage that you found
HA! Loved this quote!
Love Herriot! I haven’t read him in years, thank you for the reminder.
One of my fav authors-no one writes animal stories as well as him-loved this Scriptor-thank you for bringing back lovely memories-am off to get a few of his books out to read again:-)
I read these books at my grandparents’ farm years and years ago. I’m going to have to read them again.
What’s not to LOVE about James Herriot? I knew about him before I was aware of him–no sense here yet somewhat TRUE.
Warning: Bizarre things can happen if you’re wormed!
