"I suppose you know all about cinnamon, Mrs. Belgrave," said Sir Modava, as they were looking at the trees. "I only know enough about it to put it in my apple-pies when I make them." "This island produces the finest article in the world. It is a very old spice, mentioned in the Old Testament, though I forget the name by which it is there called," added the Indian gentleman.

She had been to cooking-school in more prosperous days, and she mentioned it; so at his earnest solicitation she undertook to bake for him twelve apple-pies; and she was now attempting it, assisted by advice from me.
