Whether it was all love and no champagne, or all champagne and no love, or half love and half champagne, or three quarters love and one quarter champagne, or one quarter love and three quarters champagne, I cannot say; but certain it is, that Hugh became inconveniently tender --tender in the moonlight, tenderer far in the shade. I, in my own mind, ascribed an undue preponderance to the champagne element, and suffered agonies of apprehension lest the grooms behind should overhear his amorous platitudes. " Jolly and big the moon looks, doesn't it? like a Cheshire cheese!" The moon, the sacred moon, the be-so...
