And with her moustachioed muzzle pressed to his chin Mr. Lavender sought for explanation in the innocent and living darkness of his dog's eyes.... On leaving Mr. Lavender's the nephew forthwith returned to the castle in Frognal, and sought his aunt. "Mad as a March hare, Aunt Rosie; and his dog bit me." "That dear doggie?"
In old days one might have reaped for himself, by bold and emphatic biddings at a few auctions, a niche in that temple of fame, of which the presiding deity is Dr Frognal Dibdin a name familiarly abbreviated into that of Foggy Dibdin. His descriptions of auction contests are perhaps the best and most readable portions of his tremendously overdone books.
When you go forward to speak to her, she may not remember very many things you may remember.

In Montague House Sir G. Scott lived. Branch Hill runs down into Frognal Rise, and on the west there are one or two big houses scattered about. Branch Hill Lodge belonged to Sir Thomas Clarke, Master of the Rolls in 1745, who presented it to Lord Chancellor Macclesfield.
