If a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him. If she can hesitate as to Yes, she ought to say No, directly.

COCK-A-LEEKIE SOUP
1 2 1/2 lb fresh, whole chicken
12 medium sized leeks, well washed and chopped to 3/4" lengths
4 oz washed long grain rice
3 - 4 medium carrots, peeled and grated
Salt and crushed black pepper
Put the chicken in a pot with enough water to more than cover. Add 6 leeks. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1 hour or until the chicken is falling off the bone. Remove the chicken and reserve. Strain the stock into a fresh pot, add the rice and cook in a covered pot for 10 minutes Add the grated carrots and the remainder of the chopped leeks and continue cooking for 20 minutes. Taste for intensity of flavour and, if necessary, reduce further to increase the taste Season with salt and pepper. Chop a little of the reserved chicken and add to the finished soup.
