"It so chanced, egad, that the devil sent Miss Tea Merchant to Bury to buy apples.
I have been misunderstood about Stavordale, because just what you tell me you approve of is what I meant to propose, or if I had any conception beyond it, it was from a sudden thought which I retract. I have said a few words to Charles, but I do not find that he has more intercourse with him than you have.
