Bridget was evidently not blessed with the bump of order. Valuable rings and bracelets lay, some on the mantelpiece, some on the dressing table; ribbons, scarfs, handkerchiefs, littered the chairs, the chest of drawers, and even the bed.

"And what's the darling's name?" asked Bridget.
Marshall reappeared with the asparagus and cherry tart.
