#196: Oranges

‘Miss Jenkyns did not like to cut the fruit, for, as she observed, the juice all ran out nobody knew where, sucking [only I think she used some more recondite word] was in fact the only way of enjoying oranges.’
Elizabeth Gaskell, Cranford

(Actually, I think this might be a tangerine but never mind…!)
