I don't remember who was there, except Dora. I have not the least idea what we had for dinner, besides Dora.

I am a neat hand at cookery, and I'll tell you what I knocked up for my Christmas-eve dinner in the Library Cart. I knocked up a beefsteak-pudding for one, with two kidneys, a dozen oysters, and a couple of mushrooms thrown in. It's a pudding to put a man in good humour with everything, except the two bottom buttons of his waistcoat.

Man is but mortal: and there is a point beyond which human courage cannot extend.
