    “I always like furmity; and so does Elizabeth-Jane; and so will you. It is nourishing after a long hard day.” […] The dull scrape of her large spoon was audible throughout the tent as she thus kept from burning the mixture of corn in the grain, flour, milk, raisins, currants, and what not, that composed the antiquated slop in which she dealt.

    1886, Thomas Hardy, chapter 1, in The Mayor of Casterbridge
