• As you will see from this catalogue
• said Lord John to his wife,
• Fortnum and Mason do not just
• unimaginatively sell such things
• as food and drink.
•  
• They display before persons
• like myself, to whom
• the silken richness of a
• Strasbourg pâte is as deeply
• moving as the sheen on a
• hunter's shoulder, all the
• rarest treasures of the world.
