Excerpt from Kenelm Chillingly, His Adventures and Opinions, Vol. 2 of 2
He wished to make the acquaintance of Gordon Chillingly before handing him over the ?20,000 which Kenelm had released in that resettlement of estates, the necessary deeds of which the young heir had signed before quitting London for Moleswick. Sir Peter wished still more to see Cecilia Travers, in whom Kenelm"s accounts of her had inspired a very strong interest.
The day after his arrival in town Sir Peter breakfasted with Mivers.
"Upon my word you are very comfortable here," said Sir Peter, glancing at the well-appointed table, and round the well-furnished rooms.
"Naturally so - there is no one to prevent my being comfortable. I am not married: - taste that omelette."
"Some men declare they never knew comfort till they were married, cousin Mivers."
"Some men are reflecting bodies, and catch a pallid gleam from the comfort which a wife concentres on herself.
