Why, if you were to ask now, of that grey man or woman whose life was linked with yours, maybe now sixty years agone, did he or she have a drumstick, or go on to ham-sandwiches?
"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
There's nothing left of the capon but one drumstick and the carcass, but they're the most delicate parts."
"Monsieur Cherami"
Charles Paul de Kock
Haydn took the drumstick from him and "showed to the astonished orchestra a new and unexpected attitude in their leader."
"Haydn"
J. Cuthbert Hadden
