Mr Dashwood and I met twelve years ago today.
To mark the occasion which has subsequently provided me with such felicity and contentment over the years, I put some flowers on his desk at the club, and he took me to sup at a nearby Oriental establishment.

Today we rung in the New Year by taking down our Christmas decorations and putting up simpler lights in anticipation of Valentine's Day.

Despite my best efforts to keep the Dashwood family awake until midnight, Mr Dashwood was awake until a quarter to the hour, and then
