15/42 We may feed at Windygates--we have done with dining now. It has been a final quarrel this time between the mistress and the cook. I have given Hester my address in London, and told her to let me know before she decides on another place. A woman who _can't_ talk, and a woman who _can_ cook, is simply a woman who has arrived at absolute perfection. Such a treasure shall not go out of the family, if I can help it. |
