'Any service required? 'My respects to your wife. 'Your lordship is very good. Captain May bloomed at a civility paid to his wife. He was a smallish, springy, firm-faced man, devotee of the lady bearing his name and wielding him. In the days when duelling flourished on our land, frail women could be powerful.

Firm-faced females lay in wait for me and waved umbrellas in my eyes.
