She kept the bridecake, and enclosed to the gallant captain Gosslett's bill for the dozen of simkin that excellent firm had sent in to wash it down wherewithal.
And as if to compensate her for his little knight-errant infidelity, he pressed very tenderly to her. "We have been engaged in a charming conversation on domestic cookery," interposed Adrian.
