"Everard Langrish, Esquire, begs to thank Mrs Jones for asking him to
tea at six sharp, when he will be very pleased to fall in with her
wishes and be of service in any other way her better feelings may
dictate."
Langrish told me afterwards he cribbed this last sentence out of a story
he had read in a weekly newspaper. He rather fancied it was "on the
spot."
