A Quote Concerning Hospitality

"The potatoes are boiling, the kettle's singing, and I daresay, Mr. Beaver, you'll get us some fish."

You may recognize that from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Perhaps because of the way it was read on a recording I used to borrow from the library, that sentence has always stuck with me and come to mind whenever hospitality is at hand, especially the more spur-of-the-moment hospitality. Remember the Beavers and have company!
