"a tale to fit the hole"


"... and then, while she threaded her darning needle with the right worsted,
she would fish about in her memory for a tale to fit the hole."

Eleanor Farjeon, The Old Nurse's Stocking Basket, 1931

quoted in Ruth Thomas, Things to Make and Mend, Faber & Faber, London 2008
