Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week

Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store.  But, this week, again, I don't feel like it.

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go... No cheating...

I give you a group of three.

One is sitting down , and will never rise.

The second eats as much as is given to

him, yet is always hungry.

The third goes away and never returns.

And...the answer is...

A stove, the fire inside of it and the smoke it produces.

I think Raymond Burr, in general, is a better answer...so, let's declare DARCY the winner.  However, I must say, everyone was quite clever today.  Thanks for chiming in.  And, of course, come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.
