The most odiously and awfully stupid collection of love letters ever written by a fool to be read by a wigged counsel in a divorce court. They covered three months, and had been written two years ago. They were passionate, idealistic in parts, drivelling. He called her his "Ickle teeny weeny treasure." Baby language Jones almost blushed as he read.
"You would make a glorious actress!" he said. At that her mood changed. "Ickle boy Baxter t'yin' flatterbox us, tunnin' Flopit! No'ty, no'ty flatterbox!" "No, no!" William insisted, earnestly. "I mean it. But but " "But whatcums?" "What do you think about actors and actresses making love to each other on the stage? Do you think they have to really feel it, or do they just pretend?"

She accommodated her pronunciation to the powers of understanding she imputed to him, calling him, e.g., a bessed ickle chezub.

To roll a BREAST OF VEAL to eat cold. Take a large breast of veal, fat and white, bone it and cut it in two, season it with mace, nutmeg, pepper and salt, in one part you may strinkle a few sweet herbs shred fine, roll them tight up, bind them will with coarse ickle, so boil it an hour and a half; you may make the same pickle as you did for the beef, excepting the strong beer; when it is enough to take it up, and bind it as you did the beef, so hang it up whilst it be cold.

She whispered: "No'ty ickle boy Batster! Lola's last night, an' ickle boy Batster fluttin'! Flut all night wif dray bid dirl!" William made no reply. There are occasions, infrequent, of course, when even a bachelor is not flattered by being accused of flirting.
'I know it's very weak and silly of me, she repeated, 'to be so trembly and shaky from head to foot, and to allow my feelings so completely to get the better of me, but I cannot help it.
