A present from Miss Priscilla

Colored illustration of two women and an old man in a kitchen. One woman stands on a chair to grab a slab of dried meat suspended from the ceiling.

Priscilla Lammeter gifts Silas Marner a piece of meat for bringing in her linen. She directs a maid to stand on a chair and take down some pork while Silas Marner stands in the kitchen doorway.
