The Lady Fragrantia, my dear friends, was one of the most divine creatures in all Great Britain, and was desperately in love with me.

Oh, 'twas base! to be treated everywhere with politeness and hospitality, and in return invidiously to smellfungus them all over; to go to the country of Kate of Aberdeen, of Auld Robin Gray, 'midst rural innocence and sweetness, take up their plaids, and dance. Oh! Doctor, Doctor!" "And what would you say, Fragrantia, if you were to write a tour to the Hebrides?"
