Full Text
When Sir Jacky Jebb and his Dulcinea (Mrs. Smith) came to high words (and these high-mettled people have often high words), the lady's usual mode of pacifying the provoked Baronet, is to smack the china on the middle of the floor, dispatch a pier glass or two, and swear she will hunt with the Prince. This last stroke Jacky cannot bear; the idea of such angelic softness being transferred to another distracts him; he pays down thirty per cent. for the last hundred he borrowed of this sweet cherub; and thus once or twice a month are family matters amicably adjusted.
