[Pimlico in Dublin still exists, as will be seen by reference

_Bive and Chute Lambs_ (No. 6. p. 93.).--I do not know whether my

answer to your correspondent's inquiry about _bive_ and chute lambs

will be satisfactory, inasmuch as the price he gives of "_bive_" lambs

"apeece" is larger than the price of the "chute." Twin lambs are still

called _bive_ lambs on the borders of Sussex and Kent; and chute lambs

are fat lambs.

_Chuet_ is an old word signifying a fat greasy pudding. It is rightly

applied to Falstaff:--

"Peace, _chewet_, peace."
