Authors: M. C. Beaton

But she remembered her duty and suddenly swung about and marched back to Gunter’s, and told little Mr Gunter firmly that she had taken one of his teaspoons with her as a memento and would now like to pay for it. She had not liked to do so in front of the gentleman.

So Hannah Pym slept that night in her narrow bed with the spoon under her pillow along with the glove he had kissed.
